As we look forward to our Open Weekend next week, the team have been busy making preparations as well as an opportunity to relax a little before a full on week of further prep.
We started by re-arranging some of the theatrical van contents to ensure things were in the right place for our event, and make better use of space, with a 4th theatrical van now available.
Matt & Ross then headed to Lincoln to attend Wilbur, topping up the essentials and fitting a new fan belt followed by the customary test drive to free up any sticky or stiff items.
Myself and Richard concentrated on getting Test Car 2 ready, tidying, cleaning and ensuring things are all ready to receive visitors next weekend.
Ross and Matt then attended a Timeline events photo charter at East Kirkby, both suitably attired as RAF ground crew, however it would have been remiss to leave Jerry out. So Jerry got to meet Jane.
Sunday, Jerry visited the Chasewater Coal train day.
Richard, Ross and Matt enjoying the day behind a selection of industrial traction. The guys extend their thanks to all at Chasewater for making them feel welcome.
Jerry apologies for his pretend “Coal sector manager”
All that is left to be said is come and see us next week.
We have tanks, opens, vans, amongst others on display, as well as the Heavy Tractor Group and West Hill Wagon works supporting us. With a 1960s goods yard and 1980s freight test scene too see, Test Car 2 open. Our road vehicles as well as some others setting the atmosphere.
With the real ale bar open, if you like wagons it may be of interest to you.
