OBB tail-board pressed into use as temporary stop board- no trains to Minting today.

Main line after ploughing. That picturesque moss in the 2' turns into a solid icy lump in these conditions and is very good at derailing underweight vehicles (and sadly the plough is underweight for the job it has to do- must ballast it soon)
