Another warm and fun day in Oswestry brought out the Thursday Gang who welcomed a new member. There were many different jobs going on and we will take a look at a few.
South of Middleton Road bridge the excess ballast has now been removed allowing access for fettling and track maintenance. This has been an ongoing task largely achieved through manual labour, well done!
At the other end the sleeper pile has been rediscovered, more correctly it has been re-stacked. The Thursday Gang get back in to the swing of rollin', choosin' mendin' to prepare more sleepers to continue with the relaying of track in station areas.
The rolling stock maintenance continued with the Dogfish having a brush up and a fresh coat of paint to the steps.
It's nice to sit out in the sun and make the stock look cared for.
Inside the shed the work on the Suburban continues with more painting and varnishing
The interior roof panelling gets some attention before refitting the interior, we don't want to have paint drops on our upholstery.
The away team went to Weston in search of long lost rolling stock and cleared vegetation from around several items which will need to be moved to allow access.
Lastly the latest CHR Newsletter has just been published, you can sign up on the

Once again thanks to Andy G for the phots and to all who participated.
