Upkeep and Care

Maintaining the railway track, locomotives and carriages is almost a full time job for our dedicated team of volunteers. Locomotives and carriages are subject to regular inspections and maintenance in order to comply with national regulations. Our track manager walks the entire circuit at least every two weeks, and the locomotives and every carriage are inspected from top to bottom over the inspection pit every three months.

 
The track team replace the bolts on a joint near Esplanade Station.

 
Temporarily bereft of its wheels, Carriage G undergoes regular inspection and maintenance over the service pit inside the depot shed.

 
The DXC stands over the service pit.

 
The work wagons are not forgotten. The ballast hopper is supported by sleepers while one of its bogies is serviced.
