The Electrical Volunteers Report Sunday 28-05-2017.

8) Just Clive, John and myself in today, Len was entertaining the War Weekend crowds in the Bury Transport Museum with the George Formby band. :)

We had a quick brew and a meat pie before starting work, the first job was to install a fixed pillar drill unit which came with an electric drill. This was fixed to our workbench with threaded rod and nuts and washers, then tested. :shock:

The inside and outside of our workshop was then given a good sweeping out and the rubbish bins emptied.

Irene asked us to have a look at a light which wasn't working near the ticket barriers in Bury Bolton Street Station, this duff 4pin D type fluorescent unit was replaced with a new one. :D

We then boarded the train hauled by the GWR engine "Witherslack Hall" to Rawtenstall and back to have a look at what was going on on our railway during the 1940' war weekend. The costumes worn by the general public, re-enactors and railway staff was very good.

Back to normal duties next week. :P
