Thursday Gang

The Thursday Gang were in full swing under the hot Oswestry sunshine, it's not that often you can put those words together but yesterday was a case in point.

As well as the physical railway it is important to have period details which add to the heritage experience.  Over time we will be adding to these details where possible.

Platform benches are a prime example and we are gradually supplementing the existing benches with reproductions of the GWR type.

Dave R has been busy with two new benches

Here is Dave with the undercoat going on after the wood has been prepared.

The finished benches always seem to be a handy place to store tools. Soon these will be supporting our visitors as they wait for the train to Weston.

There was a call for assistance with some work on the diesel locomotive Cyril. Andy G stepped in to lend a hand.

It's good to see the station details coming along, this trespasser notice was installed at the south end of the station.

In the final picture the team head back off to work after lunch in Buffers with both types of sign in evidence, the old and the new. I know which one I prefer.

Many thanks to all who came along and to Guy N for the pictures.

Until next time.
