2017 Photograph Archive

Photographs taken between 17th & 22nd August 2017

Thursday, 17.8.2017. Adrian has completed welding around the centre vestibule of carriage No. 24.

Friday, 18.8.2017. Roger and Charles have fitted two original Corris buffers on to the restored end of the carriage in the Museum – an easy job – the bolt holes all lined up in the original frames!

Sunday, 20.8.2017. It is another wet day, with No. 7 and train departing the South Platform at Maespoeth with Anniversary headboard lowered to improve forward visibility for No. 7’s driver.

The plates have arrived for the point lock on the South loop cross-over – just a bit of fabrication to be completed.

The last train of the day backs down on to the waiting No. 6, ready to be put away.

Part of the yard disappears as No. 7 is blown down before being put away for the night.

Monday, 21.8.2017. A large party of Vintage Car enthusiasts return to their train to head back to Corris …

… where Stevie had added his MG …

… to add to a fine collection …

… of cars …

… on display in the school playground (permission courtesy of the School Head).

Surprise visitors (again) were Brenda, Rob and Keith.

Tuesday, 22.8.2017. Bob and Chris concentrate hard on another practice at screw cutting …

… with a successful result after changing chucks …

… and restoring the suds pump to working order!

Meanwhile, Charles has recovered another original Corris buffer after many years of hard work!

Author of Corris books Gwyn Briwnant Jones, poses with his travelling companions in front of loco No. 7 and train at Maespoeth.

Maespoeth is going hi-tech

The single line staff is proffered as the last train of the day arrives at Maespoeth.
