O&K MH4

Hiya!
This is my first post so please bear with me! My name is Anthony and I live in Cornwall. I am a volunteer at the Helston Railway which is a railway restoration project down here in cornwall. We are trying to re-lay approx 4 miles of disused rail bed and to open it up as a tourist attraction. The trackbed clearing and rail laying so far has been done by hand and with the use of an old MF35! However our latest addition to our rail plant is an ex Railtrack O&K MH4! Myself and another volunteer (Trevor) are the authourised operators of the machine, it sure takes some getting used to! We do not need to be qualified as it is a private venture but we are taking our time to get the hang of it! The most difficult part seems to be getting it on the track but im sure practice will make perfect!
