The eagerly anticipated concrete floor in the new shed was laid on May 15, 2008. It is a pleasure to see. A lot of work had gone into preparing the floor area, including tamping the track work and placing the re-enforcing steel. The first water from the shed tank was effectively made use of in damping down the surface prior to concreting. In all, it was a great co-operative effort between the Museum and the Tramway Society.
