Setting Up at East Tanfield

We largely spent today adjusting points and driving mechanisms at ET:
Dan & Geoff manning Causey Level Crossing
for the passage of the works train
Dave punching .....
..... and fitting point rodding
Geoff & Dan mounting .....
..... and fitting additional support rollers
Dave fitting a slider under rodding from the ground frame
(which has a greater pitch than the main runs)
Ian setting up a FPL drive
A smaller team today, plus John as a guest
Another guest - a shield bug
(not very big, and harmless, I think)
Dave operating the ground frame during
testing of the bay point (in the distance)
Dave adjusting the drive for the loop FPL
Ian & Dave adjusting the drive for the loop blades
Dan on a roller & Geoff on a pin
Arise, Sir Geoff
Heading for home
