Hi all, welcome to a Railways at Work weekend update. Whilst some of the team supported the event, the rest continued with work on two of the tank wagons; and at Rothley the C&W department team have progressed repairs to the Lowfit and also the Steel High.
At Rothley the repair work on the wagon end sections of Steel High B724570 was well advanced. Thanks again to Jamie, Pat, Kyle, Rob, Noah and Steve.
Also the C&W team had welded new metal into the dragbox of the Lowfit B452718, (thanks to Pat for the photos)
On Friday preparations for the Railways at Work weekend involved getting the barrels and Brute Trolleys out of the van train at Quorn.
Over the weekend Mark, Tom, Ernie and Oliver continued to progress cleaning down and applying red-oxide primer to tank 3621.
Oliver had a birthday celebration; and of course there was cake involved….
Tank 3606 also received attention with some primer and undercoat applied to underframe areas.
The Railways at work is always an enjoyable weekend; here’s a selection of our pics.
and the Railways at Work team.
Thanks for reading, join us again next week, all the best, Dave
