A Weston Thursday

After the rapid progress last week it was back to a normal working Thursday at Weston. Andy G took the following pictures of work that went on during the day.

We start at Oswestry where the Lomac was loaded with material that will be used at Weston. This picture is actually from Tuesday and hidden amongst the load are the lighting columns which will be located at Weston. Phil, Steve and Ian take a short breather from loading.  The Tuesday team also continued with painting the River bridge before tracklaying.

On Thursday down at Weston Steve watches as the JCB landscapes what will one day be platform 2. This will be seeded like the rest of the earthworks, Steve has done a quality job on the first part of the bank.
We have now moved to screwing down the northern point of the run round loop. Glyn drives in the screws as John and Dave give moral support.
As each screw goes in the team offers even more advice.
Glyn followed along the siding tidying up the ballast.


The station is now taking shape but there is still plenty of work to complete the first phase.

A thank you to Andy for the pictures and to the volunteers who are driving the project forward.

Until next time.
