July Newsletter 1975: Ballast

It's summer and we have all been busy mainly with ballasting the track along the platform. This takes a long time as we don't have any machines to load or move around the ballast. We have also installed a point for the yard, but this has not yet been ballasted.

The plan is to put the class 14 and the wagons on the rails before winter, but there is still a bit of work to do before this can happen. A small group of members has continued looking for future wagons and have found a few nearby that we might try to acquirer.

Plans for the yard a taking shape and we hope to have a sketch in one of the next newsletters.
