starting up

ok so ive decided to start a blog
im thinking that its going to be just while im working on the world famous festiniog railway as im working there as a fitter
so ive already worked there for a month and have done some pretty cool stuff
ive done some welding , milling, angle grinding , general fitting of parts to the various loco's

today ive been working with pete and having a good laugh
we've had to do some general running repairs on the earl
we replaced a couple on nuts on the spindle on the valve gear
after we had done that we started to take merdin's top end injector apart as its been faulty lately
a little later while pete was woo'ing the german film crew that was shooting footage for some train porn programme thing
i whacked the clutch back on the moelwyn's engine while being filmed it was rather freaky i got a embaressed to be honest
the germans eventually left and we were left with a huge shunt
ended up having to light up the dave for tomorrow as we had decided that we couldnt send merdin yet
end result of pete lawson coming round during this is that im now spare fireman for tomorrow with jed eeeek
anyway im watching role models atm and just thinking sorry this is a massive post and rather long and windy but yeh im sure ill get better at this
thinking im gunna hit the pub later so au revoir
