It’s Fully Compensated Chassis Saturday
Here we are at Polbrook Gurney Colliery, and a few of the inch high are off on a trip to Bath for a pub crawl.
As they wait for their service to Binegar where they’ll change for the Bath train, the daily Frome to Highbridge via Evercreech Junction pick up goods rumbles through.
After their pub crawl they’ll stop over in Bath for the weekend and probably have several more pub crawls before returning Monday morning. For trying to get back to Polbrook any time after 5pm is always a challenge with poor connections and a head of booze.
The reality, the 4F is one of my oldest locomotives, it’s a ready to run Airfix loco bought around 45 years ago from Beatties in Southampton. It’s since had a replacement Comet chassis, a repaint, renumber and much of the moulded detailing replaced with wire etc. I think it still stands its ground, as well as running a complete dream with the most incredible pulling power due to chassis compensation.
