A great weekend for our team helping out with the Railways at Work Gala. Oh and a new arrival.
So first we have a new arrival to report, 20T Tank A6090 which was previously at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway. This tank has an interesting history; spending many years at the Railway Technical Centre in Derby as their internal user fuel tank, 024296.
No time was wasted getting stuck in to assessing the tank, removing some of the additional brackets and pipe; then checking the axleboxes, journals, bearings, oil and oil pads. A start was also made scraping some of the accumulated grime off.
The main focus this weekend has been the Railways at Work Gala, and I think the best way to sum up the weekend is in pictures, so here’s some of ours.
Thank you to everyone who came along this weekend and made it a special, very enjoyable Gala.
Join us again next week when we’ll return to the Pipe wagon. All the best, Dave
