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.

Here is the completed point and siding. The change in radius from the turnout itself onto the s-curve shows just how sharp the latter curve is. Loco No.4 Anne-Marie is seen on the left with a Hudson Bogie wagon. No.4 had propelled the four-wheel flat into the shed, just to prove it could! Compare with the photo of No. 8 road before the new siding was built. Rick Beton | |
