Winter at Shackerstone: Chilly Day in the Shed...
Howdo everyone. Just a simple day in the loco works at Shackerstone today. However, there were quite a few hands on deck and we got quite alot done. The main job today was to clean GWR 2-8-0 No3803, as the season has now ended for normal passenger trains. The 2-8-0 has been very useful to the railway this year, putting in months of faultless performances and my hat off to her: she's been good! So, now we've got a really good chance, we have taken it and are really going to town on the 38xx. By the end of the day she was shining and her troublesome Rear Damper door had been repaired too. A fantastic day overall. At the bottom of the shed, two industrial Saddle Tanks sit silent, and side-by-side; "Sir Gomer" (left) and Bagnall "Lamport No3"...
Next weekend?: Well, Warley at the NEC is on Saturday, and Sunday...I'll be back at Shackerstone! I have many days planned at Shack on the run up to Xmas and, as usual, posts on them will appear as they happen. Thanks guys. Sam.
