Tanfield and the Tunnel Again

A rainy day at Tanfield, but dry work can continue inside because all of the lower roof sheeting is in place.
Austin making window surrounds
John splicing offshoot joists
Nigel nailing up ceiling rafters
Ian adding door frames
Rob insulating walls
Nigel still hammering at the end of the day

The following shots of last Thursday's Tanfield Railway Association visit to Victoria Tunnel are all courtesy of Geoff Lowe:
