More trees on the line

Still loads of snow on the ground, but here you can see the effect the heavy falls have had on some trees at Parkend.

Here I am standing in the  four-foot, where no train will be running today.
The line on the right is a disused siding.
There are 2 trees that have been uprooted by the weather.
















 This branch fell from an overhanging tree directly above the platform.

New rolling stock

Today, the postman fought his way through the deep snow to bring me an  LMS coach from late forties/early fifties (someone has painted the roof black and fitted plastic axles to the wheelsets), and a Saxa salt wagon (again with a repainted roof).
