Nice work Mike. Exhaust pipe and chunky controller handle - must be a diesel-electric job!
As bri445 said, he's looking across the Vale of Ffestiniog and has just realised that The Grapes at Maentwrog are OPEN! Bloody thirsty work shunting mine cars around all day !!!
HI everyone, the vale of Ffestiniog is a very very nice place but this mine is in the vale of prenton, by the arno and only the view of a drink is the back of sainsburys for a can of coke {all mine drivers are tea-total}.And your right pinz its thirsty work building these engines ann ann put the kettle on please,i was thinking of sticking berts head in hot water or cutting it off and twisting it to face forward OUCH. cheers mike...ann..x.. p.s i heard a nasty horrible blood curdling scream come out of the mine before???

HI everyone, i found out why there was a blood curdling scream from the mine before?. When i was at the mine earlier the workers were coming out of the mine with gussetless knickers on their head?, apparently bert the manager/foreman was selling them as DUST MASKS {yea right} to the workers, he had 400 hundred of them to get rid of from the last railway he worked at { he also owned a lingerie shop as well i was told }. So the poor workers were all running around with knickers on their head the fools.And bert was selling them for £29.99 a piece { and they didn,t even have a filter } again more fools for buying them at that price everyone knows their only £9.99 with filter at ann summers!? { what i was told honest }.cheers mike...ann..x..
