Wednesday 11th - Nimble Fingers

 A bit of a day in upholstery .....

Chris, Ceri and Eve getting to grips with a new batch of seats from the Dean Forest Railway.

You dont have to be athletic to be a volunteer, but if you are it helps!

Laura is sewing a cover for an outside job, a carriage owner is so impressed with their work he is having some work done.

Believe it or not this is what it takes to fit a seat cover ......

Meanwhile outside, the standby water tank for Galas. After considerable leak finding and welding we eventually decreased water loss to a minimum, Steve saw the need for a coat of paint and made a transformation ...... this will most likely be an annual tidy up, it looks so much better.

Back inside Ken is working on corridor re-build.

Simon asked for assistance in tightening floor retaining bolts in 4798 ..... it was like old times for me.

The next one in for a repaint TSO 5023 needed a bit of TLC ..... Gerry removed the flaky section and we both fitted a new section in place.

After painting the water tank Steve came back and proceeded to cut sections for a second step for the soon to be weed killer wagon.

..... speaking of which Bob carried on with the north end panel, once the new angle has gone in the rest of the floor can go in.

The graffiti was applied by the local artists, not our paint team!

Rod was working on window frames in 4798.

Bryan has been doing floor repairs in RMB 1876, he is making a new floor support.

..... It's down there somewhere ....

Simon is making panels for 4876 South vestibule.

On the jack road,     John is testing vacuum brake pipes on RBr 1675.

Many thanks to Eve and Gerry for the photos.
