Wow, I never knew you had a traverser. First time it's been used for a while too, by the looks of things
What's that vehicle in the first photograph? Tender frames?
Apologies for delayed publishing of comments &this late reply.
The traverser has been in place for about 25 years, and gives rail access to the workshop, standage on which HC 38's frames are currently jacked up, & straight through to the shotblast bay. It only gets cleaned out when needed .....
On the traverser in the first photo are the frames of Lysaght's No.62, an 18" RSH sitting on accommodation wheelsets.
