After raking and clearing the ballast, old sump oil is painted onto the steel sleepers and tracks in the platform headshunt where we will store old rolling stock for the next year or two.

Excellent work and with our coaches being stored on this line, we know the track is in good condition. Might have a wheel spin here though!

I thought of that! We stopped oiling the top of the rail not far from the stopblock. The locos will never get that far.

Tom, now that you are posting stuff, I would like to say a huge thank you from us all, for spending your valuable time, to give the club assistance. It is really appreciated and we cannot thank you enough. That what you did, will get us a good head(shunt)start!
