A great set of photos Alan. Thanks.
I have often seen some of the equipment shown in your photos stored at the side of the track but never known how it was used......now I do
Seeing the crossover replacement in detail really highlights just how restricted our railways are and how difficult working on them can be.
Were the points for the crossover assembled locally? I don't think the British loading gauge allows for the use of these type of transporter wagons.
