Monday 13th - This One We Didn't Clean!
This is "Tina", the loco department's former mess coach, off to be a café in Lyme Regis. In case it does not look familiar, it is painted Chocolate and Cream on the other side. A little TLC required.....
There were 9 in for Carriage Cleaning today. We had had a request from the DMU group for help to clean it as it will be in service in October for the first time since March 2020. So after the two main rakes were almost done 3 of us went down to the DMU, while the rest finished off the main rakes. The trip to the DMU is literally from one end of the site to the other - from our supplies up on the north end of Platform 1 to the south end of the sidings in the yard. We used our trolley to carry the kit! On the way we were able to view the inside of the new volunteer mess room/facilities as not all the team had seen it. Thanks for the tour, Ben! This week was vac and glass. We will be back next week for part 2, mopping. We were K**d hence a two parter!
Well done
ReplyDeleteDo you mean West Bay, not Lyme Regis?
ReplyDeleteThe word at the railway is Lyme Regis, but shall we just say "Dorset" and see where it turns up?
DeleteWell it turned up at West Bay station, so there we go!

ReplyDeleteAh, the Swanage Railway Western extension. Track laid and signal installed by SR PW team for the then West Bay Flood defence scheme. Two coaches were also leased to the council for use as offices for the civil engineers. The Station buildings were refurbished and used as public information centres.
