Rebuilding of the Workshop

May 5, 2021July 1, 2021 Godfrey King

Rebuilding of the workshop stared in autumn 2020 with the partial building of the end wall inside to allow a new power supply to the building to be installed.

Then the winter and lockdown arrived!

Spring and lockdown is easing so work was able to resume.

Block work at workshop end nearing completion.

That’s the building secure so work moves to fitting out.

Upgrade to one of the bridges on the 7.25″.

Storm Dennis at ADMES

The storm turned one of our cuttings into a canal with our very own gondolier.

**Fortunately the flood did not quite reach into the carriage shed.**

Compressed Air Night

What a great evening! I never knew we had so many small engines in the club, ranging from Mamod and Wilesco, hand built kits and freelance builds. Many were vintage engines being run for the first time. Big thanks to Trevor and Doug for arranging and supplying all the compressor and air lines.
