More fishplates today, in the heat. Each of these sessions gets us closer to Donkey Farm Trk.
Certainly a job well done and no small effort in this weather!
As you may have read on the VGRs social media last week, we were victim of another theft, more track materials and this time also a break in to the Muckleford Station Building whereby 2 Train Staff Ticket Boxes were stolen. A total replacement cost of $200,000 for the track items stolen in recent times is not unrealistic, as many of the items just aren’t made anymore, or if they are, they’re very expensive. We’ll hopefully find some items through other avenues, but for now, we’ve still got enough to keep us going, but it will have an impact in a few years’ time.
We made a decision on Friday to remove all our easily stolen items from Muckleford and bring them up to Maldon behind lock and key, a wagon load and 2 truck loads were brought up and that has pretty much cleaned out Muckleford. It’ll take us a while to sort all of this into a logical system but we’ll get there.
Thursday’s gang won’t be running however Friday’s will be, meeting at Maldon at 8am
