A round up of some recent activity at or around Yeovil Railway Centre

27 September 2011 Dave and Peter love getting wet whilst cleaning Lord Fisher's chassis. This has been done previously but this time all the residual grime came off giving clean surfaces to rub down.

27 September 2011 Some of the 'Tuesday' gang with the recently presented original nameplate (B A Co Ltd No 2) for 'Pectin'. Picture taken by Roger Fox.

Photos of the Yeovil Mobile Operations Managers were taken by the Local Operations Manager for a newsletter. (L-R Stuart, Yvonne and Jason with Garry in charge).

Now how did that picture come out?

11 October 2011 Kit is in charge of all Lord Fisher's bits and pieces! hope he knows where they fit!

Pete continues with the painting - looking nice now

Class 50 'Fearless' has now had three cabsides reskinned together with some paint. For more pictures and news about 'Fearless' CLICK HERE

D400 Fund have kindly provided 6 photos to show the transformation of the cabside.

Old rust and holes.

Once the old skin was removed it became apparent that the framework underneath had also rotted and needed major rebuilding.

Welding in progress.

Painting underway

Although not quite the finished article the cabside now looks great. Further painting will be undertaken once all the bodywork repairs are finished.

The GWR Toad is having a spruce up in time for Christmas.

16 October 2011 Evidence of new telephones going in, the drivers' walkways and other preparatory work.

A Signal Post Telephone will soon be appearing on 'our' platform (as well as many other places!).
