Concrete floor, steps and wall cladding
- Rimutaka Incline Railway
- An update on work done on Saturday 7 May 2016 - we placed 2.4m3 of concrete, casting a set of steps into the road 1 inspection pit, and two floor slabs. Complicated form work and a lot of manual concrete placing - but well worth the effort. The steps and floor slabs have tidied up the inspection pit area of the shed, finishing up some loose ends from previous pours.

Workshop floor gets funding boost
- Rimutaka Incline Railway
- <!-- if(window.da2a)da2a.script_load(); //--> We're grateful for recent grants from Cossie Club Upper Hutt and Rimutaka Trust, which have given us a much needed boost towards completing our workshop. Reinforcing steel and concrete will be purchased with the funding, and by the end of December we are likely to have most of the floor in place. A few photos of recent work follows:

Loop track ballast drop
- Rimutaka Incline Railway
- On Saturday 26 September 2015 the track gang joined up the track sets on the new loop track, and dropped three wagon loads of ballast. By the end of the day the track was able to be used to store five ballast wagons, freeing up our mainline track.
