Only the Few

 Week commencing 17th May 2021

There were 5 volunteers plus 2 others at Broadway on Monday 

Brian made a start on the mess hut , we hadn't had the use of the mess hut since the start of Lockdown no 1 , only has been used as a dry place to paint .

Mop and brush came out , the lay of dust on the cups was cleaned by the station dishwasher. Cupboards and shelves were all cleaned , and there was a general tidy up . Ready for when were are allowed to use it again.

Mid morning the peacefulness was broken by E 73129 ,pulling a newly extended rake of coaches.

Its was probably one of its last journeys to Broadway as the Owner has now sold the Locomotive.

Ian gave the  " Hayles Board another coating of white on the board surround.

Whilst Later in the day Dave fixed the lettering back on  to the board , just a bit of touching up to be down before we re-erect it back at the halt .

Wednesday 19th May

Five volunteers were placing fence posts where the gate will be installed. Terry, Peter K, Keith, Ian and Clive. were busy.

The Blogger  ( Dave ) was on family duties today , so a lack of pictures. Back next week .

Update.

Luckily Terry sent me some details and pictures of the gate post being erected in between the showers. Peter K after the posts had been manhandled into position ,marked and drilled the concrete . threaded bar was then siliconed into the hole , nuts underneath the post allowed the post to be adjusted height wise.
