Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Steam Loco Dept Blog: July 2015

http://gwsrsteamloco.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Steam Loco Dept Blog. Monday, 27 July 2015. Play Day for the PFP. Before that though, the last blog post feature on 35006 having passed her boiler test prompted Roger to send me the following photo of Ian setting 35006's safety valves. Photo courtesy of Roger Bush. Not a job for the faint hearted. Chris cleans the PFP in the damp. The only other train running on the blue timetable was the DMU, which we crossed at Winchcombe. Tony exchanges tokens with Bob. At the end ...

Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Steam Loco Dept Blog: August 2014

http://gwsrsteamloco.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Steam Loco Dept Blog. Tuesday, 26 August 2014. On Holiday in Norfolk. 0h my God it's early! Wood stacked by the cab and a bucket of oily rags. Once the fireman has been provided with all that is needed to get the fire going, the cleaner can then turn their attention to cleaning the loco. Familiarisation with the oil store and where to find the necessary cleaning materials is a good start:. Buckets for hot soapy water and scissors/knife for cutting up cleaning rags.

Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Steam Loco Dept Blog. Tuesday, 27 May 2014. Monday was of course the last day of the Back to Black gala, just for once, it wasn't raining when I turned up at 05:00. To help some of the crews fit in with their working hours limits, I had been assigned to start off by lighting up our own resident 8F. I did the same thing last year as I recollect. DMLL members/directors, Mike, Mark and Neil with their locos. L-r) 7820, 3850 and 2874. Andy, Ben and 1501. It was at about t...

Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Steam Loco Dept Blog: Collateral Damage

http://gwsrsteamloco.blogspot.com/2015/08/collateral-damage.html

Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Steam Loco Dept Blog. Monday, 17 August 2015. After what was purportedly a whole month's worth of rain delivered in a two day period, Saturday was a blessed relief, without the slightest hint of precipitation. Hopefully the rains had arrived late enough in the week for this new patch of concrete outside the David Page shed to have cured after being poured on Monday. Building up the apron outside the David Page shed. New concrete inside the shed. Sean oiling up 5542.

Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Steam Loco Dept Blog. Monday, 23 February 2015. Pirates, Pandas and Pictures of the Past. Sometimes I think we need a bigger car park. Whilst we're on the subject of Foremarke Hall, most of her front coupling has been replaced, as well as the front draw hook. In the machine shop, about to have the shackle pressed and pinned in place. Later on, after pressing, complete with the new draw hook. Fitted and ready for painting. The first task on the list was to get the sand...

Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Steam Loco Dept Blog. Tuesday, 16 September 2014. Washing over the boiler barrel. You never seem to quite escape from being a cleaner it seems. Steve gave the motion and some of the brass a going over too. L-R), Chris, Neil and Ian with the unidentified classic car. Being more of a 2 wheeled enthusiast, I had no difficulty identifying this rather nice BSA A10 though. 1960 BSA A10 and owner. It was this big! Crossing 4270 at Winchcombe. Steve in the office.
