Due to the wet weather on the 31st the team concentrated their efforts on tidying up the workshop in order to allow work to progress quicker and also the engine house was given a spring clean.
The Permanent Way Department has been busily working on Lawson's Loop which now has on line joined up meaning that there is through access to Sandy Lane, now they turn their attention to joining up the point levers and then installing the other side of the loop in time for Easter!
In the Motive Power section the new tie bar for the brake rigging on Hibberd 4008 is progressing well, this is to replace the existing bar which isn't sturdy enough for the task its asked to do. Elsewhere on the locomotive the brakes were correctly setup to match the wheel sets which appeared incorrect when they were completed the first time. ZM32 was also run up last Sunday for a quick running check and also to move it across to the next line to allow the examination to start.
That's all for now!
