I think that’s it.Â
So today driver. You will be driving 0Z52 Merehead Quarry to Merehead Quarry via Whatley Quarry. You will have Power Haul livery 66420 for this. As it being 06:00 in the morning, there isn’t much about.Â
Â
Points to note
You will have to reverse out of Merehead Quarry. Speed limit for this is 10MPH.Â
When you get to Whites Crossing Siding, Just stop behind the signal. No need to go all the way down the siding
Pretty much the same at Frome North Junction. You will see a cone that someone has thrown over the fence. If you stop just about there, Then you can see the signal when you change ends.Â
When you get to Whatley Quarry. Just stop on the stopping point.Â
The Signal at Merehead Quarry Junction the return will be red. Just tab this signal and make sure the shunt lights come OFF.Â
And lastly. You will have to set all points in the quarries yourself. There are instructions as you go along.Â
Your permitted speed is 75MPH on the mainline, And you are light engine, So make sure you got Tail Lights on the back.Â
Â
Enjoy this little trip around the Mendip Hills. This train actually ran on 1st April.Â
