Bluenosejohn liked Breva's post in the thread GWSR General Discussion and Operations.
It's a popular spot. The line goes uphill, and into the tunnel there. Look the other way, and you'll see the plate layer's hut we're building: [ATTACH] (sorry about the contrast, my basic camera is not good with contrast.)

Another month and some more updates. At LMS the midweek team have fitted the two sandboxes and await the 4 filler chutes which are being fabricated back at Toddington. The rear cylinder cladding is nearing completion and then hopefully the LHS...
