Wednesday 5th - Inside work

 Once again a very small number in attendance, however it enabled indoor work due to the barn through road being vacant. With a list of jobs on the white board, we ganged up on the Open C wagon.

First job was to weld the diagonal braces into position, after grinding Tuesdays paint off ...... sorry guys.

...... Then to undo the draw hook retaining nuts, The south one came undone with a hefty blow of a sledgehammer on purpose made spanner ...... unfortunately shown here the north end was having non of it. It did start to move after receiving a great amount of heat, and a block and tackle attached to the spanner. Ken has soaked it in penetrating fluid and will attack it again on Saturday.

Bob is here marking out for cutting and welding, all four corners are now complete ......

John followed us round with the paintbrush.

That big nut by Ken's left hand unscrewed easily!

Meanwhile Rod is helping with window fixing .....

Bob is invasion ready ..... not really he was cleaning out some rather dusty seats.

just 2 in upholstery today, Eve and Chris are continuing with 4798 seats ..... still waiting for the DFR next batch to be delivered.

Then it was lunch time .......

..... back to it for Gerry and Rex rapidly getting towards the end of window fitting in 4798.

Ainsley and Trevor working on 4798 north end doors.

Nice to see Dave on a Wednesday, putting touches to windows on 1675.

Back to bench for Ainsley, looks like the door capping being cut to length.

One final shot of the Open C ...... looking better by the minute.

Many thanks to Gerry and Eve for the pics.
