Week Commencing 27th July 2026
Monday
3 of us on the Monday after the weekends Diesel Gala . One biggish problem was one of the locomotives ( not found out which one yet ) had a turbo failure and it carried on running .
The whole of platform 1 was covered in spots of oil , just like the running in board , the lamps, electrical boxes and the seats.
The platform where it stopped had a liberal amount .
Kevin applied some sand on the area and Ian and Myself got the old towels and gave everything we could find a clean up . Which all took a few hours out of the day.
Little and often on the bank behind platform 2
Having given away one of our wheelbarrow ( as we have too many ) to Winchcombe , we then acquired another one . Peter K put a new wheel and axle on a found scrap one. Looking smart
Photo Charter pulled in to break the day up !
Wednesday
I got to the end of the wall before the sun got going.
The neighbours had the gardeners in cutting the hedge , and Kevin had a go on our side mainly cutting back the brambles and ivy .
Ian now in charge of our fleet of wheelbarrows had the idea of painting BMT on them in case they wandered off .
Due to the dryness of the trackside we are still running Diesels , today was the turn of 26043 and 47105
Over on platform 2 the blocks between the Joists were being fitted.
