Monday the 18th a warmer than it should be dry day and my last before Christmas.

A quick look from the workshop across the Trusts exhibits that have been worked on over the last few years and then back into the workshop

Over the past week and a half the facia boards have misaligned so a quick realign and ad more screws 

                                            

Then it was gutter bracket time and refit a clean gutter a quick test with the watering can proved it flowed away nicely.

                                     

Ian and the Heritage Team dug up a fire bucket hanger whilst at Broadway this need a good clean and repaint then fitting to an old fire bucket board we have in stock.

Nature is taking over the sign outside the Honeybourne signal box

                                        

                                The Signal box and Scammel from the visitor car park.

                                

It was then Scammel time as it has been parked for six months plus so needed a full fuel drain to clean out the water and time on the battery charger,  New fuel and 12 volts a quick sort out of the plug leads as the resistor caps have now gone and copper connections fitted so we have a good spark at last and we have a runner.

A terst drive failed as the righr rear brake was seized but the application of an hammer on the handbrake linkage freed it off so it was a drive around the yard for Greg

Greg has got the LNER 2395 on a model base so it can be run at the touch of a button.

Whilst Greg was draining petrol I got on with shelving in the lamp hut the support bracket was hot riveted on and corroding but structurally sound enough to be used.

The battery angle grinder went flat before I could cut the rusty end of the original shelf

We have received more donations one being this GWR line map that just needs a light restoration it may then be displayed at Broadway Station.
