No.9 Siding Project
One of the tasks allocated for Civil's Week 2003 was to build a new siding into the former Civil Engineering Shed. This was to make new space for Carriage and Wagon repairs. There were already two sidings into the shed (Nos 5 and 6 Roads) and another was planned for use during the restoration of wagons and small coaches.

Having assembled the point on the rail bolsters, it was split into several large subassemblies and the gantry crane was used to lower all of these to the ground. Then they were man-handled into their position, as they are seen here. Although still missing the stock rails, the point is clearly taking shape. Rick Beton | |
