On a Permanent Way front as the new embankment has been compacted it has allowed for more panels of track have been laid; three extra panels have been laid to allow for wagon stock to be traversed to the end to dump spoil and ballast. Finishing ballasting of the Lawson's Loop was also completed on this day.
On a Traction and Rolling Stock front Peter was next on the examination list and so was shunted into the workshop and the battery box removed using the crane. Over in the Engine House Manrider 103 was being signed off as fit for traffic as the exam had been completed on that vehicle. Also in the Engine House was Hibberd 4008 which has had its new brake bar fitted and commissioning completed as being signed off as fit for traffic once again; a mere couple of months after first going in for work to be completed.
Work inside the new shed at Steeplehouse has carried on a pace with the electrics nearly finished and ready for certification, the interior panelling was being cut and joined ready for painting before being fitted to the lower partition of the walls.
That's all for now!
