3 October -A short length of track leading onto the turntable is placed on baulk timbers with spacers and tie bars to keep everything to gauge. All the old dirt has been dug out, the woodwork examined (with one spacer replaced) and to be refilled with clean ballast.

3 October - The concrete base has a drainage pipe for water to run into the pit. This has been cleared of accumulated dirt. The spacers do not touch the concrete so are kept out of the water.
