Undercover is definitely a bonus for us, but the key thing is the high level walkways in the carriage and wagon shed which allow us to work on roofs easily and safely, so we have planned to tackle both BR and Southern brake vans and all of the...

Just a quick update about one or two things we've been upto. The photos were taken by other volunteers. Unfortunately, work progress has varied between very slow and stop due to circumstances beyond our control. As a result of incidents...
