Longhoughton Goods Yard - , Continuation of work on road 2. Movement of materials. General tidy up. Sort tools., Baz and Dave arrived and started by continuing to clean the fuel tank from the Atlas, both inside and out. Mark assisted by rigging up a pressure washer. The engine bay was also washed down. The fuel tank was refitted and the fuel pipes and battery connections were refitted. After a bit of trouble priming the system, which was soon solved the engine was restarted and was running much better. The machine was then used to dig out some more spoil to allow for the insetting of road 2. Meanwhile the opportunity was taken by Mark to pressure wash the tractor and the dumper. Sleepers and rails were moved up from our stockpile ready to be positioned next weekend. Dave T, Kay, Tom and Neil continued with the mark 2s.
