Wednesday 28th - Moving on!

 It was a busy day, with about a dozen of us carrying on with the jobs in hand. First problem of the day was no WiFi which made signing on a bit tricky, the fault was traced to a loose plug in the main office router. Eve our administrator had printing to do, and found the printer had run out of black toner. Luckily a new one was located in ‘Churchward House’ and with a few well chosen words with the printer, it was all working.

Back to the workshops!

Derek featured last week doing these inner inspection doors on 16221, he is investigating why this one will not open correctly.

John V. is moving forward with the gas cylinder cages, we have found some suitable steel sheet which will provide a sloping top, and rain run off.

Geoff posing here with more bespoke carpentry.

Dave doing a spot of power sanding.

Its good to have Richard P. back with us, more top notch carpentry.

Jenny and John are repairing a laminate panel with some very strong adhesive, before the covers are fitted.

Down in the main workshop, Bryan is adding the final touches to the new joggler. This will work on the hand press, initial tests have proved very positive.

Richard and Paul are progressing well with the 'Mink' refurb, with the floor bearers going in.

Back in the Dogfish, Gerry has been making a large number of repair plates. He then assists me in getting into position and holding the air supply filter pump. We still have much to do!

So this jumps forward to Thursday, we thought we would have a day on the Trains. I couldn't resist a photo of the Thursday crew enjoying a tea break in the sunshine.
