Hi

We (John and Brian), were pleased yesterday to be able to reconnect the final few panels of the nine that we took up to refurbish along the old ‘Tunnel’ section and it’s looking good, a nice flowing curve. We can now top up the ballast and level it all through…… then we can run some trains.

Meanwhile Peter, Kevin and Brian B endeavored to remove the safety valve on Peter’s ‘Prospero’ , (they did in the end !) so as to ensure we have the correct fitting to enable Brian to come and carry out the necessary tests to keep the loco’s certification up to date.

….and we have started to degrease and clean the ‘Shay’ s chassis so we can check all is ok underneath then we can put it all back together and have a run !
