Progress Report - Easter!

Our first event over with for the year which marked our start of the 2016 operational season. This kicked off with normal services handled by our resident stalwarts ZM32, Greenbat, Peggy and Peter.

In the new building over the weekend the interior was coming on really well, it was decided to install panelling in order to allow for better insulation and also something to mount socket banks and racking to. This is now complete and also painted meaning that further work on the electrics of the building which includes the lights can be completed.

In the Traction and Rolling Stock Department Ullr was in for painting of the buffer beams and also the manufacturing and fitting of a battery box in the cab to stop water ingress onto the tops of the batteries which could cause major damage to them. Hudson was also brought down for pre-gala maintenance which included adjusting the fuel mixture to allow it to run smoother and also maintain a tick over speed easily.

Only one week till our gala!
