Now that the replacement pointwork has been installed at CRC Hunting Butts, the point motor has to be put back in position, bolted down and re-connected.
This involves the drilling 4 20mm dia holes through the sleepers and soleplate, fitting the spreader bars (the yellow one is brand new), and connecting the 3 detector bars. Ran out of time here so the adjustment and testing will have too be done another day.
A bit of a problem occurred in Winchcombe signal box this morning - the Winchcombe/Gotherington token broke in the token machine. The small end was eventually fished out and a spare one was found and the machine reset
All sorted before the first train appeared!
On Wednesday John P and John B installed lineside boxes at the CRC distant signal and at Bishops Cleeve Station Road bridge. Plenty of cable connecting planned for this weekend.
