Tuesday 1st Sept
Just two of us in today with the boss. A nice day so working outside was a pleasure
An appearance of the tele handler with Neil C after lunch to turn over the "Cheltenham" replacement bracket signal - this to facilitate finish painting of the underside. Still need to purchase four 3metre lengths of substantial planking for the platform but this will probably have to wait for a while now.
The ground signal that was dismantled last week has now received its dark grey undercoat:
And one of the spare fibreglass covers from a point motor has been rubbed down and re-coated silver:
A selection of replacement ground signal spectacle plates are being cleaned up from their sorry state ready for a few more years of operation:
And John P continues with dismantling and cleaning of the rescued terminal blocks
That's all the cleaning for today!!
We have been talking about moving up to Broadway before too much longer to mount all the fittings on the new bracket signal. This will need transport and assembly of scaffolding.
Will be good to see this signal fully equipped and connected.
