At DownsSteam's workshop. Watering loco 106, 1000L at a time, so we can calibrate a water gauge being added to the tender. See PiP. We use rainwater which is collected from the Workshop roof and stored in a former rail tank wagon. The 1000L tank shown here was filled from that wagon. November 2023.

Thanks Gillian. I attempt to record a range of activities which happen in and around the workshop. Hopefully they inform people about what is to be done to run a heritage train.

In the past, it would have been a simple matter to go under the coal feeder water tower, but in the modern era, it is something that has to be done.

Reusing rainwater is wonderful!

Thanks Kiiti. I have some coal photos to add later.

This is one way we put water into the tender. This time we did it this way, 1000L at a time, to calibrate a water gauge we had just installed. Each time the plastic tank was emptied I marked the level on the gauge, until the tender was full of water.

Using rainwater saves money and piped water.
