  A Landmark Day

The AA box was moved to the entrance to Toddington Station, today, in time for the start of the, brilliant Cotswolds Festival of Steam, this weekend.

Mark Young picked it up in the field on the telehandler, and skilfully drove down the main road backwards, he couldn't see the road as the box was in his line of sight.

The box should draw attention from passing traffic, arousing curiosity, hopefully leading to more new visitors.

Thanks to Keith Taylor, who steered this project, so well.




The mess at the back of the cab

A repair to the connection between the roof of the Morris Commercial and the back panel had been well bodged, by me years ago.

Time for all that to go.

The repair and some of the back panel, was removed

an infill patch with a 90 decree flange was welded in, to provide  a firm anchorage for the roof.

It is now ready for the next stage.
