wheel tappers

They are almost completely extinct now, so it was a bonus for me to see and hear one at work somewhere in eastern europe (I'll have to check my trip logs for exactly where!) whilst on a visit to the far east of Poland in the summer. I heard him before I saw him, as he did our train and came back the other side of the island platform working along that train.

The hammer was used on the wheels for both of the two waggon projects, nice clear dings! also on the buffers, for interests sake! if a bit much of a noise for inside the workshop.
