Oops,    dont break down there.......


Dedicated to @Montfrooij as we all know his love of the great train.     And typically with all the strike action,  breakdowns could be avoided at the moment.  





Taken with the Mini 2.

Looks like they had to do some ad hoc maintenance

Interesting shot DA.    Not an ideal spot for a train to breakdown for sure.  At least there was a "trail" for access for the two trucks.

A shot to warm the cockles of @Montfrooij 's heart
Rail workers waiting to effect track repairs perhaps?

Good picture, but unfortunate for them. Hopefully they got it up and running rather sooner than later.

Nice.......

Nice moment.

You timed that flight right.

And it they were stuck I could have given them the combination for the gates.

Just luck there Prezzo.

Indeed,  I feel for all the people stuck on that train.

Thanks Mr B,     Thats what I hoped for....

Typical it happens on one of the few days they were not on strike for.

  Miserable and raining again this morning.
But the package arrived yesterday ( despite UPS) and Mrs, B is delighted with her new laptop.
So I get to keep this one

Oh you sly dog.       So the Dell was for mrs B.

She resisted being "downgraded" until I showed her the new one
It's a slightly lower spec than this one, but way more performance than she actually needs.
It'a much lighter in weight too. So she's a happy bunny.
I could have got the full Avata combo for about the same price
Not that I'll be going down that route.

Im trying to hold my temptation for the Avata,    So with the new laptop you may even have scored some brownie points.

Maybe the train broke down.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-7 03:32
Maybe the train broke down.

Possibly,    after been off for a few days due to the strikes.

It looks like these mobile workshop vans.

It's good that you could have given them an assist with access if needed.

DAFlys Posted at 1-7 00:35

That and you seem to fly 24/7

Montfrooij Posted at 1-7 03:48

Makes you wonder how much they can fix railside.

Not quite prezzo not quite.   ( dont have enough batteries for that)

DowntownRDB Posted at 1-7 04:43

It's amazing what you can learn if you keep your eyes open.

Hahaha.  Good one.

You're absolutely right about that.  

DAFlys Posted at 1-8 01:14

Quite a lot.
One company I know does not have a workshop. They do most of their maintenance just outside.
Only for big overhauls they rent some time.

Prezzodrone Posted at 1-8 07:14
Hahaha.  Good one.

I did just get three more batteries though.

Gosh.  How do you remove a wheel track side I wonder.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 1-8 07:25
You're absolutely right about that.

I get moaned at as I remember number plates and which houses I’ve seen them at.

DAFlys Posted at 1-8 11:30

They have jacks for that.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-8 12:52
They have jacks for that.

Nah.  It’s not a car. You can’t jack off a train.

DAFlys Posted at 1-8 13:03

I have seen them change a wheel outdoor, but that was on a wagon, so not that much weight.
