2015 Photograph Archive

Photographs taken between 16th & 22nd September 2015

Sunday, 20.9.15. Steam’s up! …
No. 6 hauls the carriages out of the Carriage Shed …
… and now has the luxury of a slight extension to the head shunt to give a small margin for error! The extra section of track was laid yesterday.
Steve (but without a Trefor in sight!) has spent the day learning the ropes on the footplate, seen here with his wife at the end of the day. All smiles!
Tuesday, 22.9.15. Graham has an itchy back in otherwise his usual position (and Bob is around the corner, on another lathe but with no itches) ...
… and in the Signal Box, Bill and Sue are checking the First Aid boxes and listing replacement items …
… while Phil paints axleboxes in the Carriage Shed.
Later, Bill and Charles prepare items ready for storing S&T equipment …
… before lunch is enjoyed in the sunshine – while it lasted! Only Tony, Sue and myself are missing from this photo.
By the end of the day, a drain is inserted …
… from the new S&T benches at the south end of the South Platform. Just drilling and bolting together required!
Wednesday, 16.9.15. An excavator has arrived ready to start work as soon as protection measures are in place and the ground is dry enough …
… having roughly levelled a platform ready to receive stone for the new embankment base.
Tuesday, 22.9.15. We could do with the pots of gold here! Something like the view that will be enjoyed by drivers of Up trains heading over Pont y Goedwig in years to come!
