Coal Bench Aviemore - 11th&12th March 2016

Having consulted the in-house Members' Magazine Strathspey Express to try and recall when we poured the concrete for the Coal Bench floor at Aviemore, amazed to discover it was November 2013, anyway it has been an outstanding job since then to lay a concrete apron to the platform edge and now also extend the back wall, which I think was a more recent decision.

 
 The steel beams were originally acquired second hand for the proposed Carriage Shed mezzanine floor but apparently surplus and now seem to fit the bill almost perfectly (anyone got rusty paint!)

 
The not fit for purpose concrete sleepers are re-used for permanent shuttering.
 
 
John Wood hammering in a peg, to prevent any sleeper movement during the pouring of the concrete, scheduled to be soon.
Thanks to the many who helped (out of sight from Stuart Vaughan's camera)
