Building work nears completion
The ongoing strive to improve efficiency on the MPLR has led to the building of two new blockhouses and a dedicated workshop. While there is still much to do, we thought a few piccys might whet your appetite. firstly the new steam loco workshop is nearly complete…
… the relocation of the water tower has made watering of steam locos more efficient, as they can now carry out this procedure without entering the station sidings. Below is another view of the water tower and new workshops.
Here we see the station area blockhouse. The extra height gives Herbert a clear view of all traffic in and out of the station area…
… and here we can see Herbert hard at work drinking tea and reading the paper as usual.
Arthur running light engine enters the station area under Herberts watchful eye.
