Hi all
The morning started with the early arrival of the LMSCA's
second LMS Sleeping Coach which has come from the Strathspey Railway in
Scotland. The long term project is to convert it into a Kitchen Car for
our eventual Dining Train. They could still be seen this Evening
working late on the BSK Kitchen preparing the floor for levelling
compound and fitting the 240 volt external socket.
The PWT continued work on the Shottle North ground frame
fitting locking bars etc.,
John Evans commenced training three Secondmen for the Locos
working the Cream Tea Trains which will commence early June.
The Booking Office was busy making arrangements for The
Wirksworth Carnival which will end its parade at the Station at about
1400 on Bank Holiday Monday 25th May. It is the first time we have
been involved with the Carnival before and it all helps to put us on
the Map. There will be a variety of entertainments including a Live
band, Food stalls a bar. All these need licences which need to be
applied for
Bye for now
Mike Evans
