From the comments I have received it seem that a few of you are under the impression that my blog is showing an on going job. Well to put the record straight,I must tell you that only the entries from "present working position" are to do with the restart of work, all the other entries from the start are just telling the story and showing what had been done before I was taken ill over 18 months ago and had to have open heart surgery. I am please to say that I have 2 very good mates who come round 3 times each week at the moment to help get the railway back up and running as I have not been able to run trains for nearly 2 years now. That's the beauty of this hobby, and being in a club, you make and collect so many really good friends that a small call for help brings round a working party, and as you have said provided the kettle and cake tin are always to hand the work moves on a pace. I raise my glass to them all ( even though it only contains orange squash at present.)
