Wednesday 13th - Just a few

 Usual culprits in today, and more progress on the Open C wagon.....



3 of the 4 corner plates, getting the size was easy, getting the bend right not so easy.



Steve marked out a number of parallel lines, these helped in acheiving the correct radius.


A test bend confirmed we were going in the right direction ...... not bad for a bench press, and a bit of muscle.


When we arrived, we thought we had the wrong day. Dave does not usually do Wednesdays, but with the need to outshop TSO 4772 he put in some overtime.


Dave A was painting yet more seat frames, it doesn't matter how many angles you look at it there is always a bit missed.


Delicate work on 4798 windows carries on at a pace.


Not too many windows to go .....




Do not disturb!



Hello Rex, I do like your windows.








The door team doing what they do, on 4798.


Trevor sorting fasteners.


Simon was lending a hand to Upholstery, making pieces for seat backs for The Bluebell Railway .....


..... and fitting them.


Chris likewise working on Bluebell Railway seats .....


Laura is cutting out seat backs ......

And finally Eve is removing damaged seat backs ready for the new ones , she really enjoyed undoing the slot head screws.

Many thanks to Gerry and Eve for the photos.

  1. Thanks for taking the trouble to keep writing such an informative blog, and thanks to all the volunteers who clearly enjoy their contribution as they come week after week. A great pity that there isn't a shed to keep the carriages in, after all the great work done by the teams.
