Photographs taken between 1st October & 1st November 2024

Tuesday, 1.10.2024. Timber is delivered for forthcoming works at Maespoeth ...

... while steel components for the new stairs to the Signal Box are primed.

Saturday, 5.10.2024. No. 11 is operating trains today, but before commencing in the early morning sun, No. 10 has been shunted out for a bit of tlc.

Ifor and Trefor adjust No. 10's lubricator settings ...

... and sweep the tubes - which allows a photo to be taken looking through them; the blast pipe blocks access to the centre row from the smokebox end, hence resort to sweeping those from the cab end.

No. 10 viewed end-on.

Tuesday, 8.10.2024. The components for the new Signal Box steps received attention.

Wednesday, 11.10.2024. The Drop-Side Heritage waggon was returned today after riveting work undertaken by the Vale of Rheidol Railway.

Saturday, 12.10.2024. Ben blows No. 10 down before starting the day's services ...

... and at the end of the day, No. 11 draws No. 7 out so that No. 10 can go to the far end of the Engine Shed ready for its annual boiler examination.

Tuesday, 15.10.2024. The Talyllyn Railway deliver ballast waggons surplus to their requirements - but they are vastly better than anything we have used in the past!

The area around the Signal Box is cleared of accumulated debris to enable the steps to be replaced without hindrance in due course ...

... while in the Carriage Shed, the steel components for the steps have received an initial coat of gloss paint.

Saturday, 19.10.2024. No. 7 is steamed for services today - another bright sunny one!

Unfortunately, the same steam joint in the smokebox failed again, so No. 11 handled the last train of the day. Andrew does not look happy!

As a result, there is a change of plans, with No. 10 being brought out of the Engine Shed ...

... ready to operate trains on the following weekend.

Monday, 21.10.2024. The steel components have been loaded on to waggon No. 218 for transport to site, the timber components being added the next day.

Tuesday, 22.10.2024. New components have been prepared to replace rotten ones on the platform bench from Corris Station ...

... while Peter has been varnishing components for carriage No. 24.

Saturday, 26.10.2024. (AGM weekend). No. 10 is steamed in unseasonably bright sunshine ...

... with Andy filling the outside of carriage No. 24 ...

... as veteran volunteers Angela and Richard call by.

No. 10 sweeps leaves aside as the first train departs from Maespoeth ...

... as it heads towards Corris.

There is much activity in and around the Signal Box ...

... with single line block instruments being fitted and wired up.

Sunday, 27.10.2024. The old (rotten) Signal Box steps have been removed ...

... patch treatment of No. 24's body has continued ...

... while wiring and testing of communications between Maespoeth and Corris is carried out.
