The Tuesday volunteers have been busy recently with a new timber floor for the LowMac. Andy G's photo shows the first timbers in place, now to do the angled sections. This will be another useful vehicle for the works train.
The Wednesday team, comprised of our friends from Sainsburys, continued with improving the public face of the Oswestry site. The signal box, booking hall and the inside of the coach all received attention. Benches were painted and the door to Buffers was rubbed down ready for a fresh coat of paint.
The Thursday Gang continued with improving the track and infrastructure.
The middle road had attention to the fishplates and ballast was move around to suitable locations. On the drainage front more catchpits were cleaned and repaired as necessary.
Inside the shed restoration continued on the Suburban coach and the loco was prepared for service.
A busy week all round and we are not even at the weekend. Do come along and see what we are up to and if you like what you see consider supporting or working with us.
The Heritage Open Days offer an ideal way to see the progress on the project. See the details on the post dated 26th August.
Thanks to all who participated in the working parties this week, to Andy G for the photo and to you for reading and supporting the blog.
Until next time.
