That's one way to hirail convert a vehicle - just take a street sweeper body and put it onto a tray truck!

Some people are unbelieveable. Isn't a train a very public place to shoot up?

Maikha glad you like them. Very Happy
574M no ear muffs while doing the walk under traffic just when near the street sweeper as you need to hear the PO's whistle to get out of the way when a train is coming.
Only ferals were pax on stations awaiting a train.
Wongm yeah a good way of doing a quick conversion.

The tiles have nothing to do with it - it was just a general comment and sorry if it seemed that way, but I wasn't complaining. I have nothing to complain about.

I agree that the photos are very interesting. Well done to Greg for taking them.Clap

I've just come across the photos.

I enjoyed the show !

Would've been extra fun if someone on the track gang were to shout

"I hear a train a coming !"
