Spring sprung over the weekend, briefly one suspects, but long enough for some heroic track work to be done at the water tower. In preparation for the troublesome truck's arrival we needed to move the immensely heavy buffers sideways about 6 feet and backwards seven feet.No problem if you have a crane but tricky if man-handling old-style. We (me and the Summer Wine Gang from the signal box) made it.
Here we are, knackered but unbowed posing in front of the moved track and buffers.

No method statements, risk assessments or i-pads were harmed during this operation.
