Scaffolding at Blaenau

work started today on replacing the weather strips, fascia/barge boards and guttering on the water tower at Blaenau Ffestiniog Station. Nice wintery day at Blaenau!!

Whizz carrying out strategic moves so we can fit more in to paint!
Carol’s paint room comes in handy for the overflow
Jason, our newest member of Buildings Dept, initiated into the art of painting long sections! Note the recycling of tubs….
Utilising every available level to store sections whilst drying!

The Ffestiniog Railway magazine No. 159 mentioned that British Aerospace apprentices fitted the old weather strips, fascia/barge boards and guttering on a wet, windy day in September 1997.
