Well that’s it all loaded in the trailer, which is pretty well loaded. Last pallet on contains 12 years of maintenance records and documentation as well as tins of pretty much every colour of Williamsons paint used on a Blue Deltic. Soon all be on it’s way to Crewe…..
Well on the way now to getting everything loaded in to the artic. Some of this stuff is priceless, others extremely expensive to the engineer. Anyone care to have a stab at any individual photo??
