Holy Dogfish

More painting and deeper holes. Those are  the current orders at Oswestry.  Guy N shared the following pictures of work going on this week.

Davey has been busy on the Dogfish ballast hopper with the steps. The old paint has been wire brushed away and the straps treated followed by new paint.

The one in the shadows has been done allowing Davey to move round and soak up the sunlight whilst working. The mug of tea has a handy platform so life is bliss.
Alongside the Dogfish the Lowmac has also been having attention. Once the chassis has been repainted a new wooden deck will be installed allowing us to load equipment to transfer to the worksites along the line.
On the other side of the running line a new spectator sport was invented. Watching Andy dig a hole.

Andy was progressing well with the encouragement of the rest.
News travelled fast and more people came to see what was going on.

By the end of the day the hole was almost done and ready to receive the gate post.

Thanks to all who braved the sunshine and to Guy for the pictures.

Until next time
