Grease Nipples & Ball Joints

Sunday on Combwich shed. 

There is little action as 41248 sits silently next to the water tower waiting to be steamed up overnight in preparation for the Monday service. 

Alfred and Mutley standing next to the signalbox are performing a little routine maintenance. Mutley particularly likes using a grease gun, and takes great joy in seeking out grease nipples to press his gun into. Luckily there are plenty around including the steering rack on his Austin A30 which needs greasing up at least once a week. 95 year old Beryl often appears on a Sunday with her Austin 7 for her weekly grease-up, her grease nipple ball joints do get rather stiff without a regular application of Duckhams finest. 

For those who like hanging about public toilets, which I’m sure out of the many followers of this page there must be a handful, please don’t add the loo next to water tower to your bucket list of ‘must visit’.  It really is a most unpleasant place, especially on Sundays, for whilst Mutley gets around most things with his grease gun, the same can’t be said about bleach.
