This weekend was very slow with most of the time spent in front of the TV watching the V8s. I did get to the shed for about 15 minutes on the Saturday and I inspected the 5 wagons I sprayed with Frosted Glass last weekend, and turned them around and sprayed the other side using the same technique as the week before. The two Banana wagons were put back into their siding at Lismore and the other three Limestone wagons were left to dry in Acacia Ridge Yard. So that was it. I could not get motivated to do anything else.
I have been tossing up how I was going to build a model of the gantry crane that existed in the breakdown sidings at Casino. Datasheet G5 has the crane that existed at Kyogle and I have built this one. I don't think there is a datasheet that covers the crane at Casino. The Casino crane looks like a must heavier looking beast, as it was not for lift loads, but probably locos while bogies might have been replaced. I have seen one photo of the crane in the Breakdown sidings on one of the Facebook groups but that does not allow me to work out the height and footprint, and the sizes of the various girders that I need to build a model. So if anyone has any photos, I’d be happy to receive a copy, or if they have a plan of that crane, you would be a lifesaver.
It just so happened that on Tuesday this week while I was going through my email at home, I clicked on my blog and I noticed the interesting number of hits. It was 444,444. So I had to take a screen shot and keep it for prosperity.
Tuesday Night this week we are going to Cliff’s.
