 Wednesday the 21st another hot sunny day so crack on time.

 mother nature has made more mess so another sweeping and weeding session.



Greg found 4 bags of nail in a skip so today was make small bags of the various types to selll in the trust shop.






about 1/3rd of the total.


This was followed by a quick panel realignment on the Honeybourne signal box.


We have been donated part of the track from the long closed Cheltenham Cleeve Hill electric tram way, this is yet another future task to get clean. It is a different profile to the railway. 


It was time for petrol in the Scammel and moving the water valve we had acquired as the grass needs cutting




we then decided to try and strip the water valve which is from a water storage tank for the  and use it as a display the bolts and nuts are probably well over 100 years old so the induction heater and 36" stilsons came out and 4 nuts were removed until the induction tools thermal cut out kicked in




Next week I will take the 36" adjustable spanner over.

The onsite fabrication team are making a new cab mounting crossmember from sheet steel for the Morris as they have the sheet cutter and folding machine..                                                                                                                                                                             

An ultra rare vehicle arrived in the car park so a few photos just for interest
