Week Commencing 21st October 2024
Monday
Just the 3 of us on the Monday, and after yet more wet and windy weather the drive way , which the custoners first see was looking a little bit grubby .
Before anybody arrived a big sweep up of the carpark.
Leaving Ian at Broadway with " Billy " .Pat and Myself headed to Toddington to do a Gas bottle change on rakes 1 and 2 ready for the weekend . Of course they were round the awkward way , as you can see below Pat has to lie down to attach the gas pipes to the new bottles ,its awkward on both rakes , at least it wasnt raining like last time we did it !
Ian was still at it when we arrived back at Broadway
Drive way done it was on to the platforms .
Wednesday
Over on platform 2 , the other false door way had been erected , the blues had been finished and the rows of reds started. plus a delivery of some of the window sills had appeared.
5 around today , but not much to do , so we had a last ride on the DMU which will be moving on after the Autumn Showcase this weekend.
The weather stops the lighting of the bonfire which grows higher every week , we can only have one on the none running days and when the wind blows from the south , maybe next week.
Locos around today were " P and O " and of course the DMU.
