The Electrical Volunteers Report Sunday 13-8-2017.

Post by asbibby »

:D All five electrical volunteers turned up today, Len, John, Clive, Jonathan and myself.
It was decided to take down six lamp heads from Ramsbottom Station so we collected the equipment needed and caught the next train to Ramsbottom.

On arrival we borrowed the station extension ladder and proceeded to disconnect the supply and remove six lamp heads from platform one and one lamp head from platform two.
The lamp heads were removed and the tops of the lamp posts were covered to prevent the ingress of water.
We then loaded the lamp heads to be refurbished onto the next train back to Bury Bolton Street Station and on to our workshop. :)

Lunch was then taken in the pleasant sunshine, we then set about stripping the lamp heads down ready for cleaning and rubbing down of the paintwork, prior to being painted. :roll:
