Tuesday 28th - Lining out and thresholds

A relatively quiet day but some very good progress all round. Not surprisingly most of the effort was focussed on SK 25488.

Richard got cracking on the lining out on the Malvern side of 25488, initially removing the original line tape remaining and then applying fresh tape to mark out the yellow band for the top line.

Stu got going on the Cotswold side to complete the second top coating. By the time I captured him he had finished all the central cream panels and had progressed to the lower section.

Richard had progressed to the south end with his yellow band.

Roger completed the black glossing of the buffer area at the south end Malvern side, and then went on tidying up various parts at the sol bar level.

Keith's first job was to second top coat the two diesel seat frames (these will be picked up by Upholstery on Wednesday). He then moved on to the door for 25488's south corridor connection, giving that a second cream top coat.

Then it was more painting at the north end connection.

Roger gave the coach a good vac throughout. There are some minor improvements to some of the varnishing needed and as well as some general cleaning.

It's good to see the lining out on the way at last. The masking tape will be removed as soon as the yellow band is completed.

A final shot of the Cotswold side with Stu well on the way to completing the top coating.

Maurice added more Flexacryl to the roof of Tool Van 92 - I meant to check whether this was the final bit.

Later on some tidying up of the GW Brown under the battens. Maurice has certainly done the lion's share of the painting of 92.

On the Malvern side of RBr 1675 I found Ainsley furiously brushing down the south end bogie area, before having a good sweep and clear up. The Workshop was given a serious tidy up and sweep and vac through last week, so we need to keep it this way.
