Hi

We planned a running day on 15th and despite the awful weather forecast we went ahead with it and did ok. We managed to get ‘Bronwyn’, ‘Isabel’ , and ‘Prospero’ steamed up and they all had good runs with Keith, Brian , Isaac and Peter (and Andrew) having drives. The ‘Shay’ and ‘Chieftain’ were out too with Dave Jones having a drive on ‘Chieftain’, as did Richard, and it was good to welcome Dave’s son Andrew, who had a go too, even trying out ‘Prospero’ ! , so I think he enjoyed himself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So the weather held off with the wind picking up during the morning, then the rain came down in a sudden deluge just after lunch which soaked everything but we got the all the stock under cover and gave them all wipe down, in the dry

So an enjoyable day which saw the newly laid track at the end of the old headshunt given a good test which allowed it settle so we can now progress the levelling and tamping with the track in that area during our next sessions.
