The pithead and screen have just been painted in NCB blue after the take-over by the government. As anyone who has worked for a large corporation and been taken over knows, painting everthing in the new colours increases production and improves morale. (done that when I worked for John Lysaght Steel and taken over 100% by BHP) Attached files
Another view of the colliery. The yard lights, Screens and loco shed all have lights fitted, but unplugged whilst working on the improvements. Attached files
Excellent Peter, some great shots. I like how the colliery has its on loco, the Bagnall, always awaiting duties...! Thanks for the update on this great layout. Cheers, Gary.
