A view of the North platform in the evening light, Christmas now less than a handful of days away, with a new Welsh lockdown due at Midnight tonight this would be the last working day on the railway for a while. The rail bolster wagon sat in the South Platform road, with a bit of work this will be a good addition to the fleet. The first few wagons have reached the North platform, to be propelled back into the South platform to enable space to extract the other few rakes. The fairly poor condition of the CAT carriage here is very noticeable – the chassis seems to look OK. Saturday, 19.12.2020. Time for a grand shunt of the head-shunt at Maespoeth. With the ultimate aim of extracting the “CAT Carriage” for restoration to begin in 2021. Friday 25th December… NadoligLlawen-Happy Christmas, at Corris Station. Chris couples up the CAT wagon (which we had left outside the new wagon shelter mid shunt) in order to propel it towards the new shelter in the hope it would fit. “Doh!” – not quite. With the light failing, loco 6 sits at the head of the ‘serviceable’ works wagons ready to return them to their resting place in the siding. To enable the carriage to thoroughly dry out prior to sorting its contents and begin stripping work, it was dragged into the loco shed behind No.6 and fitted in with a couple of inches to spare. The wagon which until recently was used to store loco 10’s new boiler is next to be dragged out the undergrowth, along with four ex RNAD Trecwn wagons. The view up the siding from the cab of loco 6, the railhead by this point had become extremely greasy and sand needed to be found to gain adhesion.
