Thursday Gang

Another active and productive day in Oswestry.

On the extension we welcomed another four loads of ballast which arrived to the access point and then had to back along the formation.  Here we start with a view of the wagon backing it's way towards Gasworks Bridge.

It is a tight squeeze under there with no margin for error.  These boys certainly know the width of their vehicles to a fraction of an inch.

At the sharp end Glynn watches the drop is going just where it s needed.

In a couple of minutes the lorry has arrived, unloaded and now makes it's way out of the site, to repeat another three times during the day.

Alan and Tom knock in the poles which will give us the correct levels, when I nod my head you hit it.. Everything passed off fine

Henry was setting up the levels with the able assistance of Alan and Tom

By the end of the day it was time to get back to base for the final brew of the day, here we can see that any surface will do to rest a cup, Cambrian Style

Elsewhere work carried on with the coaches, the steam heat was tested on the new arrival and the transformation for Santa duties will begin soon.  Inside the shed further restoration went on with the suburban coach.

Thanks once again to Andy G for the pictures and updates

Until next time.
