Sailing by …

 It is a busy time at Penedredfel station. The “Boat” is being prepared for some track inspection work after the terrible storm of the other day-

The mast and yardarm have been collected from storage.
The driver of the “ Boat” or should it be skipper, waits patiently.
All is ready but where is the canvas sail ? A hunt for it has begun…
For more information on a similar contraption see below-

    Nice model!
    I se no motor or electricity pick ups, so I guess the propulsion is as the prototype? Better find those sails then. 🙂
    It would be interesting to see this 'running' or perhaps I should say sailing?
