Five plus Four

Monday 9th August 

There were 5 on the Maintenance team and 4 Bridge builders..

Pat and Ian sorted out the cement mixers to make sure they were serviceable.

Vic and Brian were on garden and embankment clearance.

This was Vic's third barrow load.

Pat went off North to do some strimming. I'm sure he's up there some where.

Ian set to smoothing out the piles of sand that was brought in last week.

Mike was hiding in a container. Putting a protective coat on another spear fence panel.

The four on the Footbridge were Neal, Jo, John and new boy Pat. More wood going up the stairs.

Wednesday

Dave and Peter Q were back and Vic returned to his Station duties .

Peter and Dave looked at a small job in the counter area of the Cafe , started it , measured it, cut it but ran out of time as the Cafe Staff started to filter in for another day . It will have to wait till next Monday.

Peter went back to the bottom of the drive to tend to his plants and Dave went back to his construction.

But it was a day for the painters !

Just 3 of them but they seamed to be everywhere.

Mike and Clive were on the spear fencing.

Then Mike and Ian were rubbing down the Station gate .

Clive then was on undercoating one of the newer spear fencing

 Ian was fixing a new wheel on one of the wheelbarrows before helping Dave construct a new leaflet holder for the station

A not quite ready leaflet holder , just making sure everything fitted. After its been glued and screwed it will be given to Alex in Carriage and Wagon for sign writing then Jo will apply the coats varnish  .

Sorry I forgot to mention our away team who headed back down to Toddington to do a bit of block ,  path way repairing.

Two well turned out Locomotives were on duty today in the shape of " Foremarke Hall " and on the second train " Dinmore Manor "
