Week Commencing 11th September 2023
Ron , Ian and myself were the only three volunteers who turned out on Monday the others were away on holiday , enjoying the good weather supposedly.
People continued to be rough with our soap dispensers and now with the toilet flush handles this one was pointing downwards when we found it. Sone sorted !
Ron was doing a bit of touching up of the board wings , whilst Dave was creating designer brackets for the main board.
Trial fit of main board and wings on our shed !
Afternoon saw the three of us down the drive with " Billy "
Then on platform 1 clearing up after the recent rain and wind had brought down more Needles and cones !
Wednesday.
A different Three today Ron Gone , Pat Back !
Grass was too wet to cut so whilst waiting for the day to warm up , Ian and myself decided to trial attach the posts to the rails previously cut and painted.
These will eventually support a new station approach board that's being made by Brian.
Pat arrived and he took over the grass cutting duties on the sunny drive , whilst Dave and Ian removed the slabs from the bank , most had come away and were starting to look untidy . not really used anymore they were removed back into storage .
Locomotives on duty today were " P and O " and below " Dinmore Manor " leaving the station with the first train of the day to Cheltenham racecourse.
May i ask where the new Timeline board is going to be located . If it's on the Bric a brac shed , that is not the right place , it should be on the station walls where most visitors await trains and therefore easily seen . john M.
ReplyDeleteShould the Broadway timeline display board be located within the staion walls on the platform ? this is where people await their train and could see first hand the transformation of the rebuilt Station after being demolished in 1962.
ReplyDeleteWe explain this every time we are on duty at the tearoom so this location would be better . John M .
John its a bit big to go on the station , so unfortunately it has to go on the shed , i might make a smaller one to go on the station in the future.
