Wednesday the 13 September our first Autumnal morning but a lovely clear warm day.

Greg has been busy one saved wooden box and a selection of track screws.

Took the Childs mangle into the museum then removed the distributor cap from the Scarab as it had no spark again, it was found to have no continuity between the king lead and the centre carbon brush so swapped the old unit back on shortening the lead ends to remove any damage..

It was then time for some exercise two fields away the old line side hut needed a new roof so it was orange high vis time and individually carrying the 3 corrugated sheets left over from the Foss Cross roof down on the head.

The shed is from Ash & son in Birmingham and was originally sited at Winchcombe 

An attack with the battery angle grinder with a cutting disc and some use of a heavy chisel bladed tool overcame the rusted bolts and rotten roof..

The complete roof then levered off on the side away from the track  ready to be cut up and disposed off.

Day light is now inside and a de rust and paint of the top faces will help preserve it.

The cast iron end window was unsealed by removing the tin panel

The new panels were lifted on aligned then drilled so we could get enough bolts through to make the structure safe.

The manufacturers name plate is fitted and another part is laid down and jammed above the door frame these need removing and. some restoration work.

The bottom hinge on the door is seized and broken so needs removing and welding.

It now looks better from the field so is another eyesore tidied up for visitors on the trains, the exterior needs stripping and painting and the side overhang needs a small trim.

it will look better from the station platform even though it is a distance away.
