Tuesday 12th - A quieter day

Thank you for the nice comments following last Thursday's post. 

Ref TSO 4772. All we will have time for is what we have done and are doing currently. The coach has to go out on Saturday ready for 3850 to come in, so follow up varnishing or polishing isn't possible. After 3850 has gone, FK 13326 will be coming in to enable us to complete its refurb.

Ref RBr 1675. The tables won't be going in until we have completed the varnishing in the saloon (at least 3 coats) and the heating pipe covers have been reinstated.

So, on to today's activities - it's just a brief post today.

Richard completes the paint cutting with the polisher. Both sides of 4772 now look a lot better.

However the job doesn't end there. The insides and some of the outsides of the window frames, edges of doorframe capping strips, and insides of the door frames all need paint repairs and freshening up. Ian, Richard and myself were all involved with this.

The results of tbese efforts speak for themselves, as can be seen on the north half of the Cotswold side.

Over to Robert and Chris reinstating internal boarding on the MICA van.

Paul more or less completed the undercoating on the Open C wagon, which is stabled on the Works siding.

The Bubblecar seat frames are progressing with Maurice and Keith taking on the continuing job.

Tony completely cleans up this windowframe. This one is going into storage until required.
