Monday and Tuesday

Monday, Malcolm, Phil and Malcolm start stripping
the hiab from the grampus wagon in preparation 
for transporting competed 30ft panels
Today, Malcolm, Bill and myself loading the grampus with track panels

The day was spent unloading 3 wagons of track panels at Causey Bankwell farm, close to the area that is going to be relaid


Ever wondered what the crane controls look like? The handle on the left is the travel controller. The device on the right is a double function controller, slew left and right and hoist up and down. further on the right out of sight is another lever, which controls the directing function of the crane. There are also two foot pedals which are the hoist brake and the slew brake.
Hopefully there will be more pictures of the crane working down the line tomorrow.
