2019 Photograph Archive

Photographs taken between 27th July & 1st August 2019

Saturday, 27.7.2019. Things are looking optimistic, with Ben producing a gleaming finish on loco No. 7 as it gently raises steam …
… while Trefor is coming up the hill with No. 6 and the passenger stock.
Just a fraction late, the first (ecs) Up working departs Maespoeth. Taking no chances, No. 11 is stabled on the loop line to take over if No. 7 proves problematic.

However, there are no problems, so No. 5 gets its steam bath at the end of the day.
Sunday, 28.7.2019. Andy makes an unscheduled appearance, complete with door for carriage No. 23 …
… and is soon joined by Ian ...

… and later, Charles and Scottie.
The forecast for today is not good – more passengers, perhaps
In between trains, Richard in Low-Viz trims back errant growth within station limits …

… passing the doorway to the rear access of the Shed, which is usually closed off by a sliding door (now deceased).
Nevertheless, Trefor looks happy …
… until a very happy Medical Alert dog in Corris, wipes his face!

Meanwhile, Andy has finished assembling another carriage bogie (well, as far as he can go for the moment) …
… and makes a start on the last one – for now.
The last Up train of the day departs Maespoeth past the Ash tree suffering from die-back (to be felled shortly) …

… with a (deliberately) rather empty bunker!
Tuesday, 30.7.2019. Our fire extinguishers at Maespoeth, are all lined up for their annual inspection …
… as Tony touches up the paintwork on recent welds on carriage No. 24 …

… Dick attends to paint on a fouling board missed earlier in the season ...
… and Bob marks out carriage brake hangers for drilling (all done by day’s end) …
… while later in the day, glass is fitted to one side of one saloon in carriage No. 23.

Thursday, 1.8.2019. Adrian cuts more steel off-cuts …
… and welds them into the frames of carriage No. 24 to stabilise the Guard’s compartment partition …
… before heating up bar …

… and bending it to form one end of a carriage handrail.
The rather hot bar is then cooled (and trimmed) …
… and brackets welded on to form a complete carriage handrail for one saloon – after painting. Three more to go!

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 …
