A clearance problem

My line passes through a natural overhang in the sandstone ledge. It seems the overhanging rock has slid down a little with all our rain, and the railmotor radiator now hits the roof.

(you can see how the sandstone is turning back to sand on the sleepers.)

I am not looking forward to lying on my back with a hammer and chisel to get some more clearance. It was OK 20 years ago, but doesn't seem to hold the same appeal now.

With your genius for developing rail mounted oddballs, you need to invent a rail mounted angle grinder! :lol: :lol:

I was going to suggest an angle grinder, or better yet a Dremel type cutting/grinding disc. The question is - is there more movement to come? :dontknow:
