It is only a few weeks until the Rocks By Rail Museum opens its 2026 season of events despite recent weather suggesting that we are still in the midst's of Winter!
Work in the Restoration Shed on the retubing of steam loco 1931 goes on with some the footplate being de-rusted and pipework reinstalled.
John carries on with work to refurbish the Southern brake van with painting of wooden parts...
...whilst work on de-rusting the floors has more or less been completed.
Meanwhile, outside the Restoration Shed, this van awaits some work!
That work mainly will consist of a new roof and floor"
Back in the Bone Yard I was assisted by Gary in the seemingly never ending clearance work of unkept overgrowth or as I like to term it, vegetational butchery!
As with previous work in the Bone Yard this session had its share of excitement with Treasure Junk Hunt and this sign that Gary uncovered was perhaps the best!
Other finds included more sleepers, fence posts and various pieces of what had been good wood but was now rotten!
We certainly have cleared away a lot of stuff and the back of the cafe is now very visible as well as being able to look through to the Exhibition Centre which is a view that has not been available for many years!
Stepping back after another hard day of butchery it is looking a lot clearer!
