Sunday's One Man Band!

Jo was able to spend some time today on the Good Office demolition at Winchcombe. His hard work was rewarded by making  great inroads into the final layers of bricks.

The cherry on the cake however was finding the following artifact  described by Jo :

 I found a strange object stuffed down a hole – can anyone tell me what it is? It has a little lever on one side, a circular textile in the middle, and a sticker that says ‘open’.

Looks like a filter of some sort but can anyone throw any light on it?

The rest of the time was spent watching and "listening" to the locos:-
Passing trains in the falling light remain ever fascinating. The 8F had a clank, and the Hall a squeak, so you knew what was coming. Both issues will be addressed with winter maintenance, I was told.

Thanks for your efforts Jo.
