25th November 202025th November 2020 David Coleman 0 Comment Photographs
Thursday, 19.11.2020. Dave has painted the final gloss on one side of carriage No. 23, so there is a grand shunt which sees the two latest products of Adrian’s work seeing the sunshine for the first time.
Thursday, 19.11.2020. Dave has painted the final gloss on one side of carriage No. 23, so there is a grand shunt which sees the two latest products of Adrian’s work seeing the sunshine for the first time …
… followed by carriage No. 24 …
… so that carriage No. 20 can be positioned ready for attention to paint work.

In between moves, advantage was taken to smooth lumpy welds in the track …
… which tend to get hearts stopping when stock is moved!
The two carriages (No’s 22 & 21) not in need of attention, are hooked up to return to the Carriage Shed …

… which is now arranged so that No’s 20 and 23 are convenient for attention to their paint work.
The two waggons to receive attention next (the Drop Side waggon and the two plank Private Owner waggon) are arranged next, followed by No. 24.
Adrian can then get on with drilling more holes in the Drop Side waggon end …

… before flipping the body over to drill holes in the floor.
Completing paperwork, all the files have been changed to give uniformity – one benefit of Lock-Down!
Saturday, 21.11.2020. Trefor is outside in the rain …

… giving No. 7’s boiler a wash out …
… before propelling it into the Engine Shed with No. 11.
Finishing off a job started on Thursday (abandoned due to failing light), the chocks have been fitted to the end of the track under the Waggon Shelter.

The Sundae Gang arrive with No. 6 …
… to have their lunch in the dry!
They have been working up the line, easing curves …

… and return towards evening, soaked through …
… to put everything away for the night.
By this time, the trailing truck from No. 7 had been removed …

… and the ashpan removed.
Sunday, 22.11.2020. Sam uses No. 9 …
… to collect the waggons to work up the line in rather drier conditions …

… greasing fishplates …
… in between easing the kinks in the curves …
… which became more apparent as everything was tightened up again by mid-afternoon.

With everything (and everyone) on board, it is back to Maespoeth …
… where a “Stop” board has been secured across the line until all the track work is complete.
Tuesday, 24.11.2020. Adrian entertains Bob and Chris in the Engine Shed …
