Bridge 28 Stanley Pontlarge - lattice parapet repair works - update

If you have been in the Loco Shed recently you will have noticed the lattice parapets being repaired by a large team. Progress has focused on one side in order to ensure quality & manage workloads.

First the needle gunning was undertaken.

 

Then where the joints were packed out with rust they were disassembled, repaired & painted then re-riveted.

 

Half of the above rivets are new and half original - I can't tell the difference!


Thanks to everyone for their hard work.

Regards, Sarah

  1. Excellent job on the rivets - I can see why you can't tell the difference!

    This may be a small job, compared to some other civils things that need doing, but everything the volunteers can do will save a few pounds for the GWSR. It all adds up!

    Thanks for the update.
