… on every train until (and including) 20th August.

Andy has arrived …

… to fit a good few sections on the body of carriage No. 23 …

… and ponder on how we are going to move an immobile Ade around the Carriage Shed on 1st September. Meinir demonstrates the solution!

Andy trims a section previously prepared by Bill …

… and checks it fits!

By late afternoon, moisture had descended, making for atmospheric photos!

Monday, 20.8.2018. At the end of the day, No. 7 is watered as the carriages are removed to the Carriage Shed …

… and Richard attacks the hedge on the Upper Corris branch siding …

… as mist rolls in from below!

The weather has been good today …

Sunday, 26.8.2018. … but it was all change the following day, as Peter gets a rare chance to drive No. 6 to collect the carriages from the Shed.

The yard is very atmospheric in the rain …

… but there is time to add the birthday headboard ready for Ruby!

The first train of the day departs Maespoeth.

Tuesday, 28.8.2018. Bob is boring again …

… and by the end of the day, we have 6 buffers prepared.
