Out at 53 today on my own, ground down cab support metals and tried cosmic green goo rust treatment on the metal! Seems to work, so will continue on all metals,. Nasty corrison right under the cab end, see photos.
Allan Marriott has measured the shed for weather proofing, and Richard Gatterell got us a huge wad of plastic netting.

I write this with a hangover from my stag event yesterday, just to report that we have had three new members this week, and a beautiful banner for future rallys, given by Tony Belcher , one of our members. It looks professional, and very eye catching, respects to Tony. Don't forget,we are at Lewes Bus rally, next Sunday, so come over to this free event!

Made very welcome today, at the Hastings Tram HQ at Robertsbridge, Sussex.Roy and the boys plied us with tea and savoury pastries, which was most generous.They have two trams, and have placed them in a shed, with some interesting original artifacts, including rails and finials.They have their own railway wagon as their world HQ, and it is on rails, so they can move!

Well, you read it here first! John and I had a good discusion, and we have come to an agreement over 53, so the legal document will be re-written! He has even kindly offered to help with materials to improve the shed, a most excellent result.Now we can really get going.....If you have not yet joined the society and are reading this, think about, it is going to happen, but your help or money will speed that process up.

Had a good day on Brighton seafront today, took £70 for the Society. I manned the stall on my own, thanks to Ian and Gordon for letting me enter the comfort break zone during the day, you need at least twoto man a stall in the future!. Next show is 22nd of May at Lewes Bus rally, work parties subject to a John chat next week!
On the way home, stopped of in Queens Park Road, near to Edward Street, and in the road works trench spotted some track supports.These were old rails, reused as regular supports along the permanent way.
