Welcome to the 2026 grass cutting season!

Lots of sunshine and warm temperatures encouraged outdoor activity at the Rocks By rail Museum today and with the first public event of the year just over two weeks away there are things outside that do need doing!

First off, despite all the work to install drainage and relay the track last year in the platform road the track does need some further jacking and packing to level it. This is not unexpected as it will settle with time and use - just far less then when what was under the ballast was wet clay! There are volunteers who are expert in such matters such as Richard and John so I left it to them!

David has also been doing further work on the weighbridge office which is really look the part now.

And the inside is also looking good with Weighbridge Bill at his desk...

Looking out on the track weighbridge simulated here with some steel chequer plate.

Pete and Pam have also been busy sprucing up the electrical switching building with a coat of paint. Just the surround to the roof to finish but already looking far better than before.

For me? Well I got the first of the advertising banners out on the main gate.....
