So it seems the St Crux room still contains the books. These can be transferred to the second room on the left in the cab cabin which will effectively become the 'Library'

Has anyone investigated the removal of the safe and hoewit can be refitted in the cab cabin under the sign on point? The big question is I think, can the bolts be refitted through the cab cabin floor? Is there enough ground clearance to do this?

I am planning to be on site this weekend, probably Sunday as the wombles are doing track work that day.

Can you please put the old Woodbine vending machine and the SNCF leather cash bag somewhere safe, both have value. Also the large leather bound LNER ledger.
Is the old wooden cupboard from the office with railway contents going into the portakabin in the short term?

That’s a good question Andy. If we are not careful the cab cabin will be a storage facility only and not available for office work and training. That cupboard may have come from Whitedale station so ideally should be in vb5 with the rest of the Whitedale furniture but it may not be possible to fit it in with the other furniture already in there. As for its contents there are only several lamps which could possibly join the others in vb3.

You will probably have great difficulty getting into VB5 as it’s full with MK 2 seats. And there will be very little space left in there

With regards to the cigaret machine, the leather bag and the ledger, should they not be in the Mk1 visitor centre/museum? What about that fearsome looking machete and another large knife? Do they have any railway heritage? If not I think they would e better recycled and certainly off our premises.
