Few pictures from the weekend we've been getting the railway ready for the L&B autumn gala after undertaking a track walk blowing leaves off the line we got a meter measuring wheel and measured the length of the line which is 767 feet long we replaced a panel track by the station cafe with help from two network rail staff members we removed the rotten sleepers replaced them using hard wood sleepers we had a little trouble as we found a lump of concrete which we had to remove after grading and leveling we re ballasted with fresh ballast a bit of packing the job was done it's a lot smoother now to another job carried out was putting up a fence at our main to stop people from falling into a ditch were now putting up our new engine shed this will improve our facilities for visiting locomotives big thank you to everyone who helped over the weekend
