G20MKT SCANIA R620 MARK KENDREW 040
We had a rush job starting on Wednesday afternoon. we had to load 400 tonnes of cast out in a few hours, we already had 50 tonnes of steel booked out so we had 18 44 tonners to load ASAP. We worked until dark on Wednesday and started early on Thursday. Unfortunately the light was terrible for most of the time, very dull and darkness approaching or very dull with daylight getting better as the morning progressed. I had to wind the ISO up to be able to freeze the action when the wagons were reversing into position or coming back to the weighbridge loaded. In the middle of this Myers delivered a container and we were pretty congested by then.
The Sennebogen with magnet decided to burn a little plug out due to water ingress, this stopped us for 30 minutes as we found the fault and I found a temporary work around. We couldn't travel or slew - you couldn't have made it up. We couldn't move to get the grab in and we couldn't slew so we couldn't load with five wagons still to load.
I had an electrician here at seven this morning for a permanent repair.
As darkness fell on Wednesday Mark Kendrew turned up in his new Scania R620 V8, this wagon as been around getting sprayed etc. for most (all?) of this year and I've been waiting to see it. Unfortunately conditions weren't good but I'm OK with what I got, hopefully there'll be a next time. A very smart motor with a lot of extras fitted.
