Photographs taken between 13th & 18th July 2019

Saturday, 13.7.2019. Putting No. 7 away, a significant leak is discovered around a tube in the firebox of No. 7. …
… so after much discussion and ‘phone calls, a plan is developed for an early start on Sunday!
Sunday, 14.7.2019. Things are looking hopeful, as a number of tubes have been expanded and the fire has been lit …

… sufficient that Andrew can relax outside as steam pressure is slowly built up.
However, it means the first (ecs) train is propelled up to Corris by No. 6.
The next Up working is taken over by No. 7 – much to the relief of the passengers!

Unfortunately, while standing at the South Platform after the 14.00 train ex-Corris, another (much smaller) leak was detected, so No. 6 propelled the next service up to Corris, while No. 7 was side-lined as a precaution to see how things developed.
Dave hands over the train staff for the final working of the day – straight down to the Carriage Shed.
With everything safely put away, Tony catches up with a bit of weed-killing around the passenger circulation areas.

Wednesday, 17.7.2019. Dave (on his lunch break) is working on the vestibule partitions for carriage No. 23, completing the filling and rubbing down, ready for painting.
Thursday, 18.7.2019. Adrian gets the sparks flying, as he cuts components from pieces of scrap for carriage No. 23’s handrails …
… marks them out and centre punches them …

… so that they can be drilled and countersunk …
… then welded …
… to bar steel …

… and clamped temporarily to the frames of carriage No. 24. The end brackets need a bit more work – a job for another day!
Y Mochyn is ready for his dinner.
Southern Extension Project. Pont y Goedwig Deviation. In cutting down vegetation prior to further works, Tony has been carefully avoiding the wild raspberries!

In between trains, Tony runs No. 9 up the Upper Corris branch siding with old stored material recovered from the stable in Corris (being cleared to enable Corris United Football Club to re-enter the local league and use the stable area as changing rooms), for disposal. A pair of splendid cast name plates have been delivered for No. 11. … which went into the Engine Shed for some work to be performed – including the fitting of the new name plates. … where the Gard for the day (it’s Wizards and Dragons weekend) awaits his train. Gard He casts spells, not does spelling (he said)! … so the first train went Up the line in the rain … … hauled by No. 11, here stopped to enable the crew to lock gates … … but returning to Maespoeth, No. 7 made a welcome sight, ready to swap with No. 11 … … as Chris drills fixing holes in brake blocks for the carriages … … and Bob turns down a bar to modify the track jacks. … and assistant (complete with very shy, working dragon peeking over his shoulder)! … as is Derek, the storyteller … Tuesday, 6.8.2019. Dyfed Steels deliver steel for handrails on carriage Nos. 23 & 24 …
