Weekend Report: Good weather brings the miniature railway to life!
Neville Fairclough reports on last Saturday's restoration work:
"It was a very productive
day for our crew of volunteers on Saturday as all the holes and major
dents in the TH&B Caboose were cleaned out and filled and hand sanding is well progressed.
Towards the end of a long day, they painted the black trim line below the
cupola side window.
They also made great progress towards completing work
on the inside of the cupola as shown in the photos, This included finish
installing the internal trim down to the level of the benches, finishing the
trim of the two sliding windows, finish painting the roof white and
putting two coats of grey primer over the total inside of the cupola.
A coat of
black paint was also applied to the stove floor protector which will be installed
soon making us ready to position the stove and allowing for measurements for the chimney."
Given the lovely spring days early in the weekend, some of our volunteers also ran the miniature railway much to the delight of Easter weekend visitors to Roundhouse Park.
