Great stuff as usual Walter,

that video is kinda funny especially when it was speeded up including your voice Ha Ha 5*.......John

[pwalpar]

LOL Thanks John, I just tried to get by the slow parts

Walter: Great minds think alike. 1. Just when I was thinking this video would look a lot better if you speed it up and add some funny sounds (comic effect), you DID THAT! The only difference is I would have done that earlier. 2. I was missing our club related thing (I always look for that), and there appeared the lady truck driver!

Some nice editing touches there specially with the titles. 5*

Very good Walter, I liked the look of the polished tipper body at 7:13 and the spoiler on the bonnet... he must travel very quickly to need that...!!! ha Ha.

I dont know but it does make a nice decoration on the hood LOL< Maybe it deflects bugs as well, it was a nice truck

[goreds03]

looks like there was a track close to the dumprack was that like a small track or the road

[pwalpar]

It is a track, it in fact is the track that was used to dump the hopper loads of rock on thee ground It use to be a pulpwood yard

Hey Walter what does T & S mean? I'm not familiar with that. Thanks

[pwalpar]

I think it means Track Stucture, the track gang is referred to as the T & S Gang

[megatwingo]

Nice Trucks! :)

What were the mechanical problems?

5*****

[pwalpar]

His fuel filter to the engine was clogging up caussing poor performance and loss of power to the engine. In the video you can see it smoke a few times as he was trying to make a lift. He loaded his tractor up and relesed all the trucks for the day.

[megatwingo]

@pwalpar

Ah, I see. Bad luck for him.

I´m drinking in the moment my morning coffee....and then I´m off to the Mosel the whole day.

Filming trains, of course.

Thanks jeffery

So were they replacing a switch or putting in a new one for more new tracks? Thanks for the video Walter!

[pwalpar]

Thanks Dustin, I think they were replacing a switch that had been out of service for some time. They are doing a lot of T & S in that area now.

[pwalpar]

Thanks Ben, this video was filmed on March 8th, I was just slow getting it posted.
