Re: Garforth footbridge

In reality, I don’t see how it we could ever use this bridge. It’s also a bit of distraction from sourcing / building important infrastructure that is required for welfare and the operation.

Re: Woks list for opening and general

For opening. The unsightly 4 wheeled barrow down by the BV needs moving behind the fence and the BV sign attaching to the fence. The remaining sleepers next to the BV shed to go to field.

Fimber & Sledmere Station & workings

looking at the old 25" maps, the perimeter of the goods yard North of the crossing, at the North end of station can clearly be seen, along with the entrance into the yard at the crossroads next to "GP". This confirms that the LNER concrete gate posts that are still on the corner of wh...

Re: Work in Progress

Brake van overhaul update. The ride height was checked at the four corners, which should be 1054mm from the buffer centres to the rail head. The North end was found to be high and the South end was low, there is still about 3/4 ton of equipment still to fit, so the springs were adjusted to get the h...

Re: My friend Richard Broadley

Richard was a thoroughly nice chap, and fitted in very quickly with the Wednesdayites, he was self managed and always knew exactly what needed to be done. I will miss his tales of old Priestman excavators, traction engines and threshing machines, and his broad knowledge and love of all things mechan...
