Stone Loader Operation

The 642 brings the empty hoppers off the non-electrified line from the low level sidings onto the main line


...and arrives in the station where an electric loco is waiting to take the train onwards


The Duro leaves the hoppers and the 189 takes over


the 189 departs....


....and after a circuit of the layout, arrives in the freight loop


where it leaves the hoppers for shunting


The Kamnolom Anderslej shunter pushes the hoppers towards the loader


Three wagons are placed in the far track


and the other three pushed under the loading shute




when the first three are loaded, the others are collected and loaded


after running round, the loaded train is pushed into the siding for collection by an electric locomotive


then the 189 couples ready for the return run


after a circuit of the layout, it arrives on the inner track where it will hand over to the waiting Duro




which takes the train onto the non-electrified track down to the sidings for unloading.
