Ride on Railways New Workshop

On March 10th we took on the lease of a new workshop.

Thank you for all the emails with reference to Dinky Cars. When we arrived there was not a 3 wheeler in sight.

March 10th - day of handover

Left - not that we are wimps but the thought of having an open door way to outsite was not very appealling. Job number one was to construct a screen wall to set a pair of glazed doors in. The doors came from a skip up the road.

Having a bit of space meant we could get a bit of new plant including - bandsaw, box pan folder, guillotine and a pallet stacker truck. Good job we bought the stacker truck as the box pan folder and guillotine had been put on the lorry with a forklift and the driver was unable to get his pallet truck under the machines.

A big thanks to Tony Walker who unluckily happened to be around when they arrived, good job for my dad and I, as we wouldn't have got them in the workshop with out his help.

The loco body on the guillotine is for our 110th loco which will be the first out of the workshop.

Left Drena and David paint over the horrible red walls of the front office. Eventually we hope to use the office for a bit of administation and stock storage.

We still have a lot of stock to move in and re order so please bear with us while we are still sorting items out. If you need to contact me please call the mobile or the land line in an evening/weekend.
