Police Patrols - Tidal Sidings

Following thefts of scrap from wagons in Tidal Sidings, I am informed that there is a regular police presence in the yard and only yesterday a youth was caught chucking scrap out of a wagon together with another loading it into a nearby van.

I was very respectfully apprehended in my photographic spot off Rover Way photographing 08921 Pongo making a monster MBA shunt by BTP.

After questioning me and speaking to Pongo's driver, BTP suggested that I shouldn't really be where I was, hoped that I'd got some really good pictures and asked me to move on.

Ta BTP and Seg.

They thought you were Willie Bumsen

Don't laugh too soon Willie Bumsen has registered with CMN.

When BTP questioned Seg, I think he must have told him that I was a snapping nutter. Also BTP said they were concerned for my welfare in case one of their loose dogs bit my bum.

Shouldn't you be fixing some sheds Billy Basher?

What do you expect when his toolkit only consists of a lump hammer and a pallet of Easy Start.

Hello 425
Fixed enough sheds in the last few months including a Flatliner 66 !
Had a few days off fixing Cats.
Have not needed much easy start so far. Wish there were some decent locos to fix, 37's and 60's.Miss my trip up the Rhymney
Back to the grind soon to see if Pongo and 802 are still ok.OK both on Thursday.fixed some minor faults.Biggest fault is Pongo's stupid lights
I do miss Leo though,the best Gronk in the UK
Fixed 37425 once using a fag packet

Pongo's lights are a disgrace, one light is missing one side and the other has dropped. Check her tomorrow night for a shifted crank

Leo is parked up at the back of Toton and will probably stay there forever. Shame really there didn't seem much point in taking it away. The transport could have taken 428 away instead of special transport last Friday. You missed that move Billy! I wonder who removed the lifeguards?
