An excellent work party today, power is on, more steels removed and the area made better to work in. A very beautiful day and great teamwork.

Another work party, more wiring done, some painting, the tarp over 225 was tied more securely and the bolts holding the rear platform steels on were removed. Pictures say it better.

Work party 15th of November.

Had a good number of people on site with a very mild day weather wise. Most of the work was on the electrics and though a lot was done we need at least another half day to finish the job. Allan will sort out the main connection with the three phase, but the next work party on the 29th will need a good crew again to finish the job. The electrics will be very nice when finished with sockets for power tools and very good lighting all over the shed. Work was also done on the second tarpaulin for 225 and more steels painted. A most excellent cake was provided by Alan's wife, Rene.

BMRC show

We made a very respectable total of £134.70 for the Brighton Model railway club show, last show for this year. Don't forget work party next Saturday, we need a lot PLEASE and the meeting on the 4th of December.

General meeting for the society, 4th of December.

if you have not seen our face book page, I have to tell you that the tram shelter move is off for the moment. A document was apparently found by the very fragmented Stanmer society, which shows some sort of donation of the shelter to the society, so we will leave it for the moment. One section wanted to get rid of it, but when outside interest is shown, suddenly a document is found by another part, hmm. Fair amount collected at the Newhaven model rail show today , £70, wonder how our display at Billingshurst went?

Small work party today, but a lot done, see pictures.Shed is now almost leak proof, it was well tested today! The next stage is to lift the body off the steels. We have found a crane for the tram shelter, so soon 53 and a tram shelter will be reunited. The pictures show a micro wave for cooking in the food cupboard, the last two steels for the front platform were drilled and primed, a white board has appeared for work records and Allan has lifted the other cab floor.

Calendars.

65 calendars already sold, very good for under a month!!!

A well attended work party today, shock horror! Myself, Malcolm, Tony, George and Brian plugged roof leaks, finished the guttering, ripped up more floorboards and prepared the area for the tram shelter, well done lads.

The big piece of wood.

Laughton show 6-7th of September.

Not a great success money- wise, we only raised £58.37, but as the latest picture shows, we got a large replacement piece of wood for the lower front for nothing!
