Could engineering students build the Pacer's teaching stand?

Student labour could help prepare the site, but the installation still needs experienced supervision and approval.

Question

Why not let engineering students build the stand for the donated Pacer?

Short answer

Students offered, but the installation needed formal approval. The proposed solution is a senior railway engineer to supervise and sign off the work.

Notes

Dragon says students had offered to do the preparation. The obstacle was obtaining approval to place the train on the completed installation. Clarke proposes a senior railway engineer on site to supervise and sign off the work. He expects experienced colleagues might also volunteer for a small project, although that remains his suggested route rather than what the academy did.
