The open weekend and rededication of Oswestry South Signal Box went well. Here are some behind the scenes pictures of the final preparations.
Dave and Rob prepare the visitor area making sure that all is correct, it's a bit late to correct any mistakes on the board but all looks good and nobody found any errors.
Here is the information panel with details about the location, history and operation.
Good job we put up the strong gates to prevent gate crashers! We weren't keeping Robin out, he was testing the gate's integrity to keep the hoards of screaming fans away from our celebrity guest.
The service train was kept buy and showed why we need the coach, how much this scene has changed over the years. The PWay gang have made much progress here bringing the overgrown mainline back in to regular use.
Our guest, Keith Wilkinson of ITV Central News, lines up the shot for the ribbon cutting ceremony.
Here he is before climbing the steps.
Second Director Davey J helps with getting everything ready and we are ready to go.
The all important ribbon is placed between the hand rails and Davey retreats backwards for the ceremony to begin.
After the formal reopening there are tours and explanations of the functions of the various instruments and levers.
And here she is. Our star re-born after many hours of hard work, a real credit to all involved.
Thanks to Andy Green for the pictures.
