Tuesday At Weston

The team of volunteers was back in action at Weston working on multiple jobs. Parts were painted, wood preservative was applied, sleepers were positioned and rails installed. Andy G was on hand with his camera to capture the action during the day.

We start at the southern end where sleepers and point components have been moved into position. You can see the general alignment has been marked out and the sleepers are being placed in position. Just in front of this section the point will be laid out using the switches already alongside the timbers. The point will be loosely assembled and adjusted before the chairs are finally screwed down.

Meanwhile Noel was getting to grips with the lamp posts, he was busy chipping away at old paint.

At the end of the day two rails were placed into the sleepers just before the bridge.  The alignment will need to be adjusted once the rest of the track has been completed.

Another good day of work by the volunteers. Thanks to Andy G for the pictures.

Until next time.
