Sun Shines on the Few

Wednesday 18th September 2019

The title says it all , Monday saw 2 attend , Pete and Dave. Wednesday a few more turned up , but the weather was nice and sunny and the trains had plenty of passengers .

Monday

Dave rubbed down the bottom surround of the platform 1 running in board , where the paint had started to flake off , and then reapplied a coat of primer and undercoat.

Peter meanwhile was at the Kitchen store room modifying the locking mechanism.

The smaller of the bins needed attention and a new double bin had its first coat of dark stone applied.

A board for hanging the fire buckets was sourced from the wood pile , cut to the required length , edges rounded off, rubbed done and then primed . 

Wednesday

Peter and Brian attacked the wood pile sorting out what was still useful and what was not went to the ever growing pile for burning.

Adding to the bonfire was Ron , he was doing his usual brushing up of the driveway of pine needles and fallen pine cones. then later in the afternoon on  platform 2  he had a few more barrow loads of rubbish just to top up Clive's bonfire.

Also around the station , Peter K gave the fence at the top of the drive another coat of wood preserver.Brian and Dave sorted ( hopefully ) the source of the smell outside the kitchen door.

Peter Q and Dave fitted the Key lock to the store room. Clive cleared vegetation on Platform 2.

And the final Job of the day was the top coat of Dark Stone on the Waste bin, just the light stone to go now.

Loco`s of the day were 4270 and 7903 both looking splendid in the Autumn sunshine.
