A Busy Day at the Railway

It's been a busy Saturday at the railway with many volunteers working on several projects around the site.


In the morning, a works train was shunted together ready to tackle some re-sleepering on Percy Main curve.

At Wallsend Road curve, Michael and Aadil remove the first sleeper.

Taking a short break - three new sleepers with a fourth about to follow.


Michael takes the works train down Percy Main bank to collect the spent sleepers.


Meanwhile, back at the museum, Nev has been installing Consett No.10's new batteries...


...assisted by Neil and Paul.
