Merry Christmas

 Just a quick update to let you know we're still here.  As mentioned previously I was away in Australia for all of October and a number of our crew were away undergoing their own maintenance.  Since November we have been gradually moving parts and equipment from the old coach to our new home in our freshly finished workshop.  There's been quite a lot to do, along with a handful of minor repairs and adjustments out on the line.  The weather hasn't helped, see the photo below showing the new workshop in late November, but we are making progress.  Hopefully we'll have a few photos of the inside of the new building soon, once we've got it looking something like.  Also we should be starting some winter maintenance in early January; some disconnection and reconnection and set up of one of our older sets of mechanical points at Winchcombe (P-Way changing timbers) and probably a strip and refit of a signal post at Gotherington.

Until then have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Neil and the S&T gang.
