Tŷ’n-y-Coedcae Lineside
Andrew N turned up with a couple of items for Tŷ’n-y-Coedcae – a gradient post showing how the line climbs from the valley floor towards Caerphilly and a milepost in true B&MR style denoting 5 3/4 miles from Bassaleg.
Also from Andrew, but not photographed, were some components for the Facing Point Lock.
Elsewhere, out of shot, Rhobat continued with the yard crane and LBH wired up the west fiddle yard.
MrChairman worked on the cabling from the control panel to the Alex Jackson coupling magnets.
The relative simplicity here contrasts with panels 20 plus years ago when one could hear the phrase “knit me a control panel, Nellie” when work was in progress.
A bit more linesidary sprouted up on Tuesday, in the shape of a fixed lamp, that was installed at the halt to show drivers where the halt was in the hours of darkness.
Fred produced a running-in board for the halt, setting it off well.
