Jonathan came in on Saturday to finish off some painting on the lamp heads for Summerseat Station and to finish off painting the surrounds of two Station clocks we are refurbishing.
On Sunday a full compliment of volunteers turned up, John, Jonathan, Clive, Len and me, i was going to leave after lunch being a season ticket holder at Wigan Athletic, we were playing Arsenal. On my way into the ground i saw a fellow Tic David Leyland, what a result two nil down ten minutes to go and then we won three two, HAPPY DAYS.
Back to the work done Clive did a few mods. on the electronics for BBS Station clock, to eliminate possible static.
Jonathan, John and Len collected five newly refurbished lamp heads from our workshop and headed off on the 10 : 40 train to Summerseat Station.
I stayed behind with Clive to oil and put back together a Smiths Station clock we are refurbishing.
Hughie delivered his Station clock surround which he as had sand blasted and powder coated, this is the clock that Clive is making some electronics to drive the mechanism. We need to manufacture a new minute finger for this clock as it was missing when obtained.
The men then brought back to the workshop the five lamps exchanged at Summerseat to be stripped and refurbished.
I am away next Sunday following my other hobby special stage rallying in Anglesey.
