As the title states, the floor in 1675 is coming along nicely and indeed we have finished the cross bearers to the south corridor connection. This means we now head North towards the servery.
This is the last one on the South end, before the base plate. Rex, Bryan and Gerry do the preparation and fitting. All bearers are drilled and made ready for the floor panels, we have temporary boards in place to make it safe for all volunteers.
I am welding the outriggers to the bearers, the framework is beginning to regain its former glory. Social distancing is very popular when welding takes place.
The team are already working on the next section towards the servery, that bulkhead is proving to be a challenge as the bearer runs directly underneath it. They will sort it.
This piece put up a considerable fight, but its lost to the team.
Inevitably a daily clean up becomes necessary, thus making the area safe and somewhat more pleasant.
We have the Toad and the Rbr along side each other, this makes it viable if Richard needs some assistance, in this case for Bryan to move across and lend a hand with the Toad ballast boxes.
Another one of the Toad, which is looking magnificent.
Outside Dave H. is doing some prepping on M4867, it is hoped it will be coming inside later in the year for the treatment.
Bench work for Phil, a tedious job cleaning these racks but it has to be done ..... mind you I think he looks happy enough.
The other Phil and the Bubble car, still a lot of preparation to do.
Ah lunchtime, quite nice out so we decided to sit by the platform. Our happy travellers were also taking refreshment . Dinmore Manor in charge heading south.
Back in the barn, Phil and Richard were discussing 'redundant' equipment on 1675 .... well thats what they said.
Gerry on the afternoon session, preparing outriggers. Yes I did take this photo from a safe distance.
Phil is dismantling ......
Sadly I could not get much in for Wednesday and apologise to anyone I may have missed.
I will get you next time.
