Some photos of on-going work at Yeovil Railway Centre during Winter 2014 |
1 February 2014 Replacement point timbers have been delivered! |
15 March 2014 First five timbers to be replaced are now in place and await ballasting. (Photo courtesy Dillon James) |
The next section involves replacing four timbers. One is being dragged out to save on manual labour! (Photo courtesy Dillon James) |
All four have been removed. The chairs and rail can be cleaned to remove decades of rust and debris before the new timbers are placed. (Photo courtesy Dillon James) |
New timbers in. The middle chairs have been drilled and screwed down. The remainder to be completed soon. (Photo courtesy Dillon James) |
