Thursday Midweek Squad saw a continuation of works at Aviemore.
Fergus with his own personal whacker plate, possibly thinking "one of these days I'll get a hire fee from Strathspey Railway!" It is a very useful bit of plant.
---------------------
Saturday saw an even bigger squad.
Nathan applying heat, John applying some gentle persuasion!
Above a considerable number of brand new check chairs required, as it is an A 6 1/2 Switch (believed to be from Grantown Gas Works many years ago) with a tight radius turnout necessitating a long checkrail.
Mike, Angus and David topped up with many fresh loads of ash and again compacted using guess what? (might try and erase shadow of me sometime)
Close up of how the timbers in pit are joined up, these were AS1 chair screws, Mike was instructed to cut protruding square heads off, which he did to his satisfaction, Georgie subsequently asked Shed staff to further smooth them off!
Scene near end of play as captured by John, Road 1 finally taking shape, no idea of the name of Road to future Running Shed?
Thanks to Mike, Angus, Roddy, David, Fergus, Michael, John, Ian, Richard and the brains behind it all - Georgie!
