Ferrovie dello Balconia (part 2)

The Ferrovie dello Balconia moves to a new location

After a few years of have been driving on the current location with my train, business activities are terminated on this site. My parents got an offer to move the caravan from place 49 to 11, and that is further from the highway, along the edge of the forest and some agricultural fields. I do not know how this new spot looks like, and so I have not yet finished a rail plan yet. Meanwhile, at “klusbedrijf HENK” (a small construction company), there is already some gossip because of the upcoming removal.



B — ”Henk, have you read this on Playmofriends?”
H — “What, Ben?”
B — “The Ferrovie dello Balconia is going to move.”
H — “Well, than it is gonna be a busy summer. How large is the new spot?”
B — “I have no idea.”
H — “Then we have to hire a new employee to measure up the new location.”



J — ”Hello, I am Joop and I can measure up the new piece of land.”
H — “Welcome at our company, klusbedrijf HENK.”



H — ”That is some impressive equipment.”
J — “As a survayor, no job is too small for me!”

B — ”Henk, are you in the bathroom perhaps?”
H — “Why?”
B — “Well, the birds are falling from the tree…”

Today Henk is visiting by a whole group of worried ladies. Kate is afraid that the "Shady Rest Hotel" will no longer get customers as the railway line disappears. Billy-Jo, Bobby-Jo and Betty-Jo worry that the water tower is disappearing. This is their only source of cooling during hot summers, because there is no swimming pool in the surrounding area.

H — “Quietly, I can't answer all questions at the same time!”
K — “What will happen to our hotel now?”
H — “We dismantle the hotel and rebuild it along the new railway line. That is because the ’Ferrovie dello Balconia' has no canteen, where else should we eat?”
B-J, B-J en B-J — “And our water tower?”
H — “The water tower will also be dismantled and rebuilt along the new railway line. That is necessary, because the steam locomotives will continue to drive. Although I do think that you distract the crews too much.”
B-J, B-J en B-J — “Then you just have to build a swimming pool.”
H — “For the time being, there is not enough money for that.”
B — “And also our view not!”

Good to see that the company listens to local opinion.

I have many memories of Petticoat Junction.
