Re:Round Robin boxcar visits the KMRR

Stockers popped round this morning and brought with him the Round Robin BoxCar. Unfortunately my track has not been in use since the builders arrived so it was difficult to give the boxcar a chance to stretch it's legs on the EG&SNNR in the far SouthEast:clap:

First of all, posing on the big bridge (which really does need some maintenance work done on the railings:happy:):

Next up was taking a trip round the new mountain getting a good view of all the work being done on the back of the house:

The had a trip over the black bridge - had so much rain recently that the trackbed has been washed away:D

....and lastly, on Lantern Curve:

Stockers did tell where it's off to next but I forgot:thinking::crying:

So when the builders have finished, there will be plenty of material for the extensions to the Garden railway. DO NOT LET THEM PUT ANYTHING INTO A SKIP!

Re:Round Robin boxcar visits the KMRR

As Keith said, I took the van down to his line - the EG&SNNR.
A few photos of it at the Oxney Island line did appear in the coffee room but here is my contribution.

Re:Round Robin boxcar visits the KMRR

Its off to another South-East line tomorrow and then will start is journey around the UK. The next three receipients know who they are and it will then be up to them to move it forwards. I am sure in time it can visit everyone who is interested. It really is quite good fun.

Re:Round Robin boxcar visits the KMRR

Just a reminder, someone occasionally hit the car with a clear sealer so the signitures dont smear or wear off ;)

Re:Round Robin boxcar visits the KMRR

Alan (Stockers) kindly brought the van to the BredeOstBahn in East Sussex this morning - where it formed the very first train ever on BoB metals! No doubt Alan will post some better pictures in due course. The van has been signed for the rather better known Bredebahn!

Re:Round Robin boxcar visits the KMRR

Yes, we discussed and implemented the very beginnings of the BredeOstBahn Railway.
Fantastic views are avaiable.

Re:Round Robin boxcar visits the KMRR

The old railway name was added to the Van.
The Bredebahn.
