30/10/22 – A quiet one

Hello everyone! Following the excitement of our open day last week, we’ve had a quiet week with just Matt and I on site on Sunday. We carried on the sorting out from last week, and took delivery of yet another new arrival of Matt’s (Matt says Sorry Stu!). We started off however by unloading our site pick-up for wood recovered from the bonfire pile and stacking it neatly next to the dock.

We now present ‘Elizabeth‘, a diesel Scammell Scarab. You may have seen this one before as it has visited us on loan for Railways at Work and very recently at our open weekend. This arrival also takes the pressure off of Madge’s looming restoration as we’ll still have something to move trailers around with.

With Elizabeth having touched down (again), she was very quickly put to work moving the 3 trailers back into our compound ready for the railway’s bonfire. We also used one of the trailers to pick up some more wood from the bonfire pile which is the perfect size for wagon floor and bodyside planks.

Next week, we’ll be back to normality and drawing up our plans for winter work.
