Maintenance

Ian, Dave, Dave & Rob starting to remove a crossing gate at Causey

Rob & Dave unfastening the top hinge 

Dave slackening nuts

Lifting the gate, intending to take it back to Marley Hill ......

..... but removing a hinge for use on the replacement gate .....

...... because this one could not be transported intact

These wooden gates at Causey Crossing have been in place for about 20 years.   The weather has caused deterioration, but physical damage over the last few years has compounded this.   Replacement gates will be in box section steel.

Passing Andrews House, we found Malcolm on his mop again

At Marley Hill, Angela is working on records

Dave cleaning a hinge for reuse

Rob cleaning where the hinge will be welded

Dave greasing the new dumper
