It’s only 1 WEEK to go untill we open for another new season for our 75th anniversary year of the railway in the park. 
Thursday was a cold wet day 
when a delivery of 6 tons of granite was made to the park.
I only one day our gallant volunteers managed to move and spread this around the bed of the raised track.
Two putting the membrane down, two wheel barrowing, two shoveling and two raking the granite into place, an amazing job which took us 4-5 hrs.
James, our award winning gardener from the park planted 12 replacement beech trees 
which we had bought to replace damaged or dead bushes. These will eventually form our beech tunnel on the back straight of the track.
See the pictures below of the finished work. 
We are almost ready for the new season now. 
On Monday, we will set up all the locos and rolling stock to check all the winter’s hard work and have everything ready for the 30th of MARCH our first running day. 
From all of us at the Wee Train
Not bad going for 5 hours work !
