The scope of the repairs was expanded thanks to the donation of construction glass by the Skierniewice branch of company Piklington. The additional cost of installation was covered form the 1% of income tax.

 

We are still before the next building activity which is the first stage of renovations of the old water tower. It is still possible to support us via the crowd-funding website:

The last Saturday, 5th October, welcomed us with exceptionally cold weather which become milder later in the afternoon. Therefore, most of the 134 guests arrived at the Shed’s grounds in the later hours of the Open Day.

Our usual attractions – the tour of our collection of rolling stock and the exhibition of railway signalling and traffic control were joined by the exhibition of photographs by Zbyszek Gradowski.

An extraordinary attraction that day was the presentation of uniforms and arms from the World War II prepared by the reconstruction groups Niepodległość 1863 and ‘Ostoya’.

As in previous Open Days, we were supported by Łódź Agglomeration Railways (free return for the guests of the Shed) and Atmosfera pizza house (catering).

This was the last opportunity this year to visit us during the regular Open Day. Still we are still open to the public on the Photo Day (19th October) and the Railwaymen Day (23rd November). We would also like to remind that organized groups can visit us outside of the schedule after earlier arrangement.
