Slightly later than usual here is a catch up on the latest work. Last week we were not able to lay the crossing so the team diverted to Oswestry to work on the long sleepers that support the point lever by Oswestry South signal box. These were getting towards the end of their life so whilst there was still reasonable access these were replaced with fresher ones. These timbers are over 12 feet long so threading them in was fun.
Colin was on hand to take the pictures.
We start with a view of the long timbers installed and the point lever in position. Although it looks a simple job there was a lot of team effort to complete this.
Further south the point lever and locking mechanism for the centre road was given an overhaul.
Another job was at the pedestrian crossing. The hole around the recently installed gate post was further filled to retain the post.
The Tuesday Gang had an away day at Weston working on site clearance. Andy G sent a quick picture of the sleepers that need to be recovered and sorted so that the track bed can be prepared.
Thanks to Colin and Andy for the pictures. When the issue with the accommodation crossing are sorted we will be able to complete the link up. For now we have to wait.
Until next time.
