Dave is seen here using his heritage (Time Team?) skills to uncover the base of the original platform scales. We are hopeful of obtaining an original set for this location. Dave at work again on uncovering the previous changes made to the Pc3 station when one window was removed and replaced with a door and internal alterations. This view shows the original style telephone very kindly restored, donated and installed by Goodwin Alco®. They have also made many other significant donations of artifacts to return the station to an operating heritage station.
