September saw continuing spot re-sleepering beyond Kinchurdy Bridge
large squads and good weather were much appreciated.
Bruce using one of his many arboreal hand tools to good effect.
Saturday 17th was the PWay squad Annual "Line Inspection" with Georgie kindly paying for our soup and sandwiches (absorbing some of the alcohol!). Earlier David Childs showed us the excellent oo scale model railway layout of Boat of Garten. Thanks to all.
Mike inspecting two surprise additions to the Engineers Fleet - 1950's era "Medfit" wagons which were acquired from the Churnet Valley Railway
and this week two out the six "Sea Urchins" being unloaded having been purchased from the Wensleydale Railway. Stationmaster Walters advises - Shildon built in 1979 possibly the youngest vehicles on the Railway. (thanks to R.Law photo)
The following day a P'Way train was quickly squeezed into Aviemore on a busy day,
with three service trains, light loco and the Royal Scotsman. The wagons were examined by the Carriage & Wagon department and Georgie already has them now fuller with spoil from the proposed running shed site.
