Weekly Progress Report - Splashing Out!

A rather steady week at SGLR, here's a round up of what has been going on!

In house at Steeple Grange our rear screen which will allow us to decorate the Engine House has been erected, the team today then cracked on with getting the Engine House decorated and ready to accept the Santa Special goers next weekend!

On the Permanent Way front packing and tamping of track between Steeplehouse and Killers Dale Halt has been undertaken to allow for a much smoother ride for our passengers over this festive weekend. Also measuring of the trackbed beyond Sandy Lane Crossing in order to progress our Push to Middleton Project.

Motive Power Department was slightly down on the team today, never the less jobs were completed on Hibberd 4008, draining and re-filling the water system with antifreeze ready for the Winter. ZM32 was also taken out on test despite suffering a flat battery which was sorted effectively and efficiently!

The Countdown really is on as we're into our final week before Santa's arrival, don't forget to come and join us!
