LATEST PROJECTS NEWSPrevious news The finished layout With Robs assistance today we finished off the drive gear to the trap point, the slipping lug and the springbox for the point have all been fitted and tested, all that remains now is to fit a 5MPH sign and thats that job completed,we had planned to do this on sunday but I ended up assisting in other duties.John has been busy moving the train ready to start button at Darley Dale further up the the platform and cleating the cable to the back of the new midland style fencingHarvey has been upto the wood yard and has sussed out the wood needed for the signalbox for Matlock which will be my next job in the coming weeks. This saturday I was invited to attend the Institute Of Railway Signal Engineers Minor Railways section conference as a speaker, I representesd the railway and gave a slideshow presentation on the resignalling project sor the two train running as well as proposed and future ideas we have.Sunday was put to go use having a maintenance check upon the detection circuits of the point machine at Church Lane as well as checking the location cupboard circuits and attending to some rewiring. With the good assistance of Ben and a colleague down south,weve been able to finally get hold of a decent ships wheel type level crossing gate wheel to go with other drive equipment I put aside for Church Lane for a future project to make the signallers lives easier by driving the four gates from the wheel rather than by hand and foot in all weathers as is presently done.While the project is well off (Matlock and Darley boxes to complete first) rather than stick the equipment in the stores to get forgotten about, the wheel will be mounted in its final position upstairs at Church Lane,it is currently being restored and hopefully should be ready to go in place in the month, I.R.S.E convention at Kidderminster This website was created using MAGIX Website Maker.
