Today was a very warm and humid day, great for people making the most of the sun in the Abbey grounds. However passener numbers were a bit down on what we were hoping for on such a nice day.

Running round the train would have been hard work in this heat, so we ran with an engine on each end. Richard took Atlas on the top end and I manned Little Ruston on the down end. A much easier arrangement for a day like today (but uses twice the fuel).
Richard in action!

Tommy was back today, doing a fine job of keeping the grass short, if getting a bit close to the track at times.
Druid and the crane wagon were in use getting some more steer bar out of the compound. this is being cut up and is going for scrap.
With the O&K's gearbox sump almost finished, it was lowered into position to mark out where the oil drain needs to go. Although this is only in place for now, it looks promising.
