- Outside, plenty of progress has been made restoring the air-raid shelter (the panel being behind the wall to the right)
- The restoration, aided by Network Rail volunteers, has greatly improved the appearance of the site & the access to the signalling building...
- ...with the front doors now in place & operational...if only we could change our habit & not keep walking to the back door!
- Inside the panel room, more electrics have been installed, which will control panel power.
- Peter gets to grips with tidying the various power distribution cables...
- ...whilst Jack continues wiring in PCBs that have had their cables soldered to the tag blocks & tested
- Testing continues at the front of the panel, with many illuminated lamps in evidence...
- ...and swiftly moves further eastwards, with suitably-enscribed magnet to chart progress!
- Jamie turns his hand to fault-finding, including crimping & reconnecting power jumper leads
- More works outside give definition to the entrance path; note the completed front window
- Contrary to popular belief, yes, we're still making PCBs! Reinforcements of components arrive...
- ...and are quickly put to good use, with several more input & output boards assembled, cleaned & tested
- With more PCBs made, a quick view shows that we're 50% of the way to filling the final two racks
- More tag block soldering is called for; Jamie does the honours while Tom helps test around the front
- Meanwhile, Peter continues to terminate the cables at the PCB end, in readiness for more testing
- Testing reaches Uffington loop...worthy of such a cake-based celebration! The look westwards shows just how far we've come
- More parts arrive, allowing the telephone concentrator keyboards to have complete button sets again - can you spot the new ones?
- Paul tackles the shelving move, cleaning & tidying our stocks; this will help allow the panel to be moved backwards to its final position in due course
