Aviemore Wheelset storage - 30th August 2025

New Running Shed crossing and switch essentially complete, bar a lot of drilling and screwing down


as pictured by Keith Holyland Friday afternoon.

-----------------------------

Saturday saw the Squad again meet at Aviemore but it wasn't the expected worksite location.

Old Speyside Platform loop has been removed by Georgie, after many volunteer back breaking hours of dismantling it into it's component parts and re-utilising most at Running Shed worksite. 


To compensate for the loss of track to store wheelsets and bogies, Georgie cleared and levelled a suitable area


and Martin, Mike, Fergus and a new face Jeremy quickly set about utilising the already secondhand concrete sleepers that weren't possible to refurbish. 


HS2 its not


but it won't stay exposed for scrutiny for long!
