Acton Work Party Feb 23rd

26th February 2008

Once again we set out to Acton to do a bit more tidying up before the railway runs in March. We basically changed the pea shingle level crossing for a proper wooden board one. This looks most authentic. The wooden steaming bay was replaced with just a plain bit of track. Livvy was tested after repairs and found to be ready for the March event should she be needed.

Dan slaps a coat of wood preservative on the planks for the new foot crossing. 2048x1536 DSCF7732.JPG 2008-02-23 16:27:03	Stephen makes sure it all fits. 2048x1536 DSCF7733.JPG 2008-02-23 16:27:09	Stephen and his work bench (my tender!) 2048x1536 DSCF7734.JPG 2008-02-23 16:28:10	The steam bay having been replaced by a plain bit of track.

She worked fine, until I got on the tender!!! 2048x1536 DSCF7737.JPG 2008-02-23 17:15:06	Livvy waiting for action. 2048x1536 DSCF7738.JPG 2008-02-23 17:15:14	The completed foot crossing. It looks stunning, and it means we now no longer have to go along the rails scraping the pea shingle out of the check rails. 2048x1536 DSCF7741.JPG 2008-02-23 17:51:29
