Warm Days

 Week commencing 22nd May 2023


Monday 

A good turnout on a sunny day.

Back to the containers for the majority of us .
 The idea was to move the big rack in no1 into number 3 , first it needed emptying and then we found out it was too long to fit in the space left to use .




Ian , Brian and Dave had to cut about 1 foot of the end and rebuild.


The Trugs are selling like hot cakes , 5 in one morning the other day , so poor old Pete spent most of the morning cutting down scrap wood to make more.


Mike was rubbing down yet another spear fencing panel to repaint.


Chris was down the drive with the mower , the grass is growing well this time of year .


A job we gave to Construction and Maintainace was the the changing of the waste pipe in the urinals, the copper pipes and fittings seamed a good idea at time , but since the opening of the station they had given us various problems . so a modern approach was instigated.


End of the day saw the racking in Container 3 and already being utilized.


Wednesday


Another warm and sunny day.

The gents toilets had been finished and the new plastic fittings don't look too out of place , 
.



Down at the end of platform 1 , Brian was showing Ron and Ian how to use the Billy goat.





Until you get used to its sudden acceleration it can be a bit of a handful , it needed Brian's knowledge and experience to finish the job. 



Guess what Peter was doing ?


Dave finished painting a new leaflet holder for the notice board down the drive..

The two Locos on duty today were the Standard 2 and Pendennis Castle
