My halt suffered some damage during the recent storms, taking a dive to the footpath for the second time in its life and suffering some disassembly. My original plan to resolve any attempts to break free from its location centred around some pins in the baseboards at 4 corners. This has proved to be inadequate so the next replacement will include some ally angle at 2 locations to keep the building in place (hopefully). Below you can see the carnage created. The rear right bit of broken roof was lost on the first incident. This time the door finally lost its hinge pins.
First up was to replace the hinge pins. This involved removing the remaining stump then drilling to put a couple of L’s of N/S wire. Initially made as a U then cut to L’s then superglued in place allowing for the door to open again.
Next to be done was to glue the central part in place, an overnight with clamp in place made sure this was held firm. I will also put some clear silicone on all the internal joins. Below you can see the weight on the end whilst the short wooden parts glued to the corrugated front dry.
Now waiting for some better weather to put back in position on the Railway, in the pics you can see the ally angle that will be used on the right end below the seats and inside the hut.
