Spence's Bridge

Even with the construction of the BBR,  the inhabitants of  Boxer Bay were unhappy.  In particular, the accessibility of the station, requiring a long walk down the precipitous hillside which made for unpleasant discussion in the village.   Local pub owner Mr. Spence decided to put up the necessary funds to erect a footbridge.  Leading directly to the village High street for the benefit of all,  not least his loyal customers who now have an undeviating route to the pub from the station 😉   Spence's Bridge has also become a favorite spot for the local children to watch the comings & goings of the railway.

Film # 10

 Amazing just how relaxing & soothing it is to make up a train & watch it circulate round and round.  After a rough week it was just what the Doctor ordered :)   BBR #3 Terrier just had a wheel & pickup cleaning,  running super smooth now.
