Tuesday Gang

Despite the overcast weather the work at Weston continues and moves up a gear as we proceed with the construction of the station.

The Tuesday volunteers were in the thick of the action as deliveries were made and materials moved into position.

Andy G was on hand with his camera to catch some of the developments.  We start with the cleared trackbed receiving piles of fresh ballast. These deliveries continued throughout the day.


The on-site mess cabin is proving to be a big hit and lunch was had in the relative warmth. The second picture shows most of the team taking a well earned break and testing the quality of the tea.  The dents in the door were there before and are not the results of the volunteers seeking to exit quickly to continue their work.

Gradually the site is being reorganised to allow work on the sidings to be completed. The stacks of sleepers on the tracks have been relocated allowing access for fettling and final alignment.  The last picture shows the current status.


There is still plenty to do and many opportunities to get involved.  Keep watching the blog for updates.

Again thanks to the volunteers who helped and to Andy G for the pictures.

Until next time.

  1. Are you going to weld up the smaller track panels into longer lengths ?

  2. Thanks for your comment. The panels you see are for sidings only so they will remain joined by normal fishplates and bolts.
