Project Work July 2004

An important maintenance task is re-greasing the fishplates. If this is neglected, they can seize up, possibly leading to buckled rails or worse. The Royal Suffolk Fishplate Grenadiers set about this with diligence, completing 229 sets of fishplates in four days. Yes, the odd number is odd, but one of the points has a set of three. Here are Nick, Pete, Chris and Steve hard at work during an engineering possession of the line.
