Consultation!

 It is not unusual theses past few months to go to the Rocks by Rail Museum and find the engine cover on a piece of plant open as some issue is dealt with. Today was no exception with Harriot being the subject of attention today.

Following a joint consultation it was diagnosed that as everything else in the fuel system has been proven to work or been replaced the lift pump must be the issue. A new one is on order!

Down by the recently commenced drainage works there was more consultation going on as a number of volunteers watched the action.

And the action was Andy in the trench!

Meanwhile, in the restoration shed lots of progress with all of the tubes in 1931 taken out ready for the whole thing to be washed out ready for inspection.

Meanwhile, on the viewing platform project that I am involved in, more progress has been made! The ends of the Heras fencing have been fastened to two posts hammered into the ground and then concreted in, the Teram sheeting has been unrolled and the path edges chamfered.

Following the unloading of the platelayers trolley by throwing spadefulls of  material up over the viewing platform barrier a layer of suitable cover over the Teram began to form.

Standing on the platform gives a great view of the quarry sidings - just hope that it is appreciated!

Not much left to do now to finish this project so hopefully in a couple of weeks it will be finished ready for the grass cutting season!
