Wednesday 22nd - Up on the roof

 The title tells the beginning of today's story. RBr 1675 had a couple of shall we say extra holes which are not needed.  Fortunately from a safety aspect they were get-at-able from the high tower.

It has its challenges getting up here, especially when you try to remember everything you will need.

 Fortunately Gerry was on hand and responded to my calls for help, and handed tools, etc, through an open window.

 I took the opportunity to photo Rod who was busy with a door fit. You cannot see it in the photo but I am surrounded by the previously mentioned scaffold tower.

Bryan and Rex have started on the fitting of the generator on 1675. They assure me the first parts will be lifting brackets and Bryan is making a start.

And there it is .... the generator!

Back inside 1675 Simon carries on with panelling and seems very happy in his work.

David is further down the carriage with more panelling.

Rex is busy making brackets .... not sure what for.

Not to mention another window going in.

Chris very kindly offered to help me, and is cutting a piece of corridor connection support pillar for FK 13326.

All of the main sections are now in on the south end of 13326, almost ready for the new outer skin

Tom, Geoff and Simon are wrestling with the north end sliding door on 1675. They sorted it as they always do.

 Rounding off with our very busy upholstery dept. Working here on the second set for the Dean Forest Railway.

That's it for another week ...... many thanks to Gerry for the photos.
