Working Weekend Report

Saturday
Chris Scott had led the Saturday working party digging holes for the foundations for the carrage shed extension.

This small team comprised Ben Abbott, Alan and Barbara Brassington, Bob Newton and Ray Berry.

Hugh Jones had been and was very busy de-rusting and painting the steel cross members.

We mixed concrete and filled the holes to the prescribed depth. Tidied the work site and covered the holes so making the area safe.

Ben Barnes and I then did a couple of hours bushwacking either side of boathouse bridge. Amazing how quickly stuff grows along the lineside.

Engine Shed Notes
Holy War, Maid Marian and Alice are available for use and running well.
A start will be made soon on Holy War's 10 year overhaul.

Diesel locos Chilmark and Meirionnedd have both taken further steps towards full working order.

Report: Bob (Shell) Greenhalgh.

Ed Note: The carriage shed was built circa 1973. The doors at the station (west end) were added in 1985. The roof trusses to extend the shed were acquired circa 1989. Nice to know the jobs list does move - even if slowly!
