Re The Embankment - we are clea...Note to the above:<br />Re The Embankment - we are clearing it so that we can assess what is required to get it back into shape. There is more than sufficient width to run two lines into the station in any case. <br /><br />Re Dumper It is metal fatigue that has final caused the stub axles to sheer. This is through age rather overloading. - we never knowingly overload the dumper. The dumper on ebay is larger than we would typically need. The one we have can be driven behind platforms etc. <br />A big thank you to people who have made donations to help us out.
