Track Grows
The first section of new track was laid at the site on Monday. Stephen and Alan had previously laid some sleepers. These were moved into the correct position by Stephan, Jim and Paul. Mario then used the crane to put a couple of rails in place. The fire-damaged bogie was moved off the end of the existing track.
Next workday the holes for dogspikes will be drilled and the rails secured. Some new bolts will need to be purchased to bolt the fishplates to the rail.
The other job completed on Monday was retying the tarp on 683. A rope had broken with the strong winds recently and it was repaired. We have run out of spare rope so that's another item for the shopping list.
The new OnTrak newsletter is out on the TRAK site so check it out.

A good day's work spoiled by a certain bearded man getting a Hernia. Was it from
1. Lifting Sleepers
2. Moving Rail
3. Eating Chips and Scallops
What ever it was he was buggered
We hope he goes to the "Blokes Day" at Hawkesbury Hospital on Sunday he might get fixed up.
Some of the carriage group were spotted at Windsor Hospital, not as patients however but as workers raising money at the Blokes Day Do.
They made a few dollars and found out about prostate and also Viagra.
The involvement by more of our membership would make the job a lot easier.Come on many hands make light work.
Your website has a useful information for beginners like me.
