04/10/25 – Overton Shunt & Tidy

2 weeks have passed since our last update and this time we have been focusing on Overton.

Friday the 3rd saw a sizable team carrying out a shunt in readiness for our activities Saturday.
Alan, John, Mark, Paul, Stu, Tim and I assembling all the Vans including Conflat into one train.
With Road 3 (furthest from the running line) remaining empty.

After the shunt we ran the Vans from Overton to Peterborough and once the Class 14 had ran round we headed for Wansford. This is in preparation for our planed works over Christmas but I shall hold off telling you more until those updates.

On to Saturday and apologies for the lack of images for this part. All of the redundant steel at the end of Road 3 and the upright columns have been removed clearing alot of yard space. These were placed in the awaiting Weltrol for onward transportation.

This opens up the possibilities to host some photocharters in the yard, maybe worth keeping an eye out for upcoming events.

Still alot more to do but we are making strides.

Join us next time.
