The Electrical Volunteers Report Sunday 17-03-2024

Post by asbibby »

:D Today on the last day of Legends of Steam Gala, the electrical volunteers were, Sophie, Colin, Jonathan, John, Stephen, Dave S and myself.
We all had a brew before watching the departure of the A4 Sir Nigel Gresley and Brittania.

It was decided to test some LED tubes and replace a faulty one in our workshop, with that completed we all headed off to the Bury Standard 4 Group shed to sort out a couples of lighting problems, which resulted in taking one of the fittings back to our workshop for repair and testing. :idea:

Lunch was then taken back in the workshop with a brew and some of Mr. Kiplings finest, only one was left, sad. :oops:

After lunch we stripped and tested various electrical hand tools, three grinders, two drills and a vacuum cleaner.
The vacuum cleaner was condemended along with a drill, the rest of the tools were passed OK and taken back to their owners. :)

A quick tidy up in the workshop and it was off to watch the big FA Cup match between United and The Pool on the telly and what a match it was :D

Back next week when the two engines from the Gala will be in service again and we shall be up at Rawtenstall Station doing some work.
Deep in the heart of Swinetown.
