In readiness for the re-opening of the Cornwall Branch, there have been some groundworks to do,

the old connection got washed out more than a year ago, the track level has sank by about four inches so a new incline was made and an area cleared for a bridge, a test train was ran today all seems ok, even the track power got to the end OK,

Today I been running trains up and down the branchline, then I got cold so, was mooching about following threads and links and found some really weird stuff,

I had removed the rubber traction tyred wheels from my RDC and , stumbled on this amazing machine,

rubber tyred switcher,

The ships wheel was the steering wheel

prototype for everything
