Monday 23rd - Both Sides Now

 

10 for Carriage Cleaning today on what turned out to be a very nice day, weather-wise.

You've seen enough carriages being washed so I thought this might be more interesting!

The loco department have a posh new purpose built facility, but this was their former home. Named Tina after one of our lady firemen, in case you were wondering. Due to start a new life as a café in Lyme Regis. Hope they have plenty of welders down there!

Yes, the pictures are the same coach. The public facing side was painted some years ago to look the part. The side against the machine shop wall was untouched! For the carriage nerds (guilty) the number is 25646, originally a Corridor Second.
