Wilma stands by

[pauly]

Ferrysteam came round for a steamup today and brought his Regner Wilma.


On a freight







steaming through the overgrowth






the Railcar is at the station platform so it is sent around




but as it went through the last set of points the brakevan derails and jamns in the track but instead of stopping Wilma, Wilma ripped 1 of the wagons apart like paper.




Im sure Im not the only 1 reminded of the REV story Toad stands by


the wrecked wagon is put on a siding and the train continues its journey

many years ago, I was rattling through "Cockcrow Hill" station riding shotgun on a freight train pulled by my predecessor on my Stanier 5MT.  We went through "7 points" and as we did so, a tanker got caught in the crossing nose.  The entire of the rear of the train jack knifed (which was impressive as its heavy 7 1/4" stuff) and the poor tankers buffer beam was wrenched out, bumping along behind the rest of the train!

We ended up towing it back by coupling it to the back of the train.  The tankers owner was less than impressed!
