External renovation of the Speyside Signal Box at Aviemore over 11 & 12th November.
By Colin Frost
A request had been made for a damaged step on the staircase to be repaired, so with the old step removed, a convenient plank of timber was found, this was cut to size, slotted into place and securely screwed home.
The forth support for under the veranda was also there to be installed, so with the original post removed a hole was dug, concrete mixed, and pored and left to set. Then the new post was cut to size and secured in place.
The newly fabricated staircase, which is presently stored under cover, is to be fitted next spring, so we took measurements of the timber that will be needed for the job when we return.
