Hello all! This week, its been the railway’s Last Hurrah gala where alongisde the usual intensive service both the Vans and the Tank train have been running up and down the line. This also marks the Pipe’s first gala back in traffic, and it looked resplendant as one of the barriers for the tank train. Speaking of tanks, both 3777 and A6090 remain at Rothley awaiitng our arrival but we are very much looking forward to continuing these.
This week, the Ops team (thanks guys!) have delivered our next project after the tanks, Palvan B781908. With just me on site on Saturday, progress was limited but I was able to open the padlocks and free off the doors to get in. I got Danny positioned and started to off load some of the very damp surplus PPE and other items into the skip.
Barry and the Baldwins joined me on Sunday where we were able to make better progress. Danny and the team made 3 trips to the skip and the van is looking a lot tidier and the floor able to dry out a little bit.
As darkness descended, we got the painting stuff together ready to start a short stint at Rothley to progress the 2 tanks, starting with A6090 next week. Thanks for reading!
