My
apologies for the longer than planned break in providing an update on
the routine maintenance that our small group undertakes. I believe
the last blog made reference to Sunday 6th April being our third
workday in 2014 and since then 2 further cycles were completed during
the year with each cycle covering Toddington (1 day), Winchcombe (1
day) and Cheltenham RC + Gotherington (1 day). Just to make sure we
know what we are doing it has been arranged for this to start all
over again on Wednesday 11th February, weather permitting.
As
well as finding time to drink tea the following photos do show part
of the group in action during the 2014 year.

I'm
not sure what was being discussed at the time but as can be seen it
was
certainly a case of oil cans at the ready.

Reading on c&w blog, you've recently acquired a signal from quaint on road? Any details about this ? Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for my delay in replying. I am told that this signal is a combined stop and distant signal complete with mechanical slotting which was originally recovered from Northolt Jcn. Following refurbishment of the fittings by the S&T/C&W Depts it is the intention to use the parts on the forthcoming Broadway installation.
