Wednesday 3rd - Thin on the ground

 Its holiday time and this means a reduction in volunteers, however we get together and work out a strategy.


You saw it here first, the new moquette which is entitled ' Horse Chestnut Leaf '. The closely guarded info is it will be used in 2 compartments in 16221, beyond that my lips are sealed.


The magicians workshop .... I am told it is very soft to the touch, The Moquette that is.


And so to 1675, we now have the corridor connection removed from the South end, Gerry is removing various panels to expose the crash pillars and buffer plate.


Derek is removing panels, again to make access to the crash pillars. He will then be attending to the floor and making it safe for the interior fitting.



Again at the South end, that's me gas axing some redundant brackets.


Oooh the tin worm has been feasting here, a complete new frame will be going in here ..... photos will follow when its done.


I had to get out of the way, as Phil jettisoned this very old cable loom. It will all be replaced with new.


The number gives it away, Gerry is exposing more door frame uprights some are not too bad others will be replaced.

Just a few of us but the work goes on, watch this space.
