 All the plans were decided last week, and so we started with the excellent job Rex has made of the battery carrier\/rack for 1675<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It has been made in 2 halves, each tray being exact …… using a wooden model of a battery as a test rig. The frame is now gaining in weight ….. at some point I will give an all up weight including the batteries.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Same vehicle, and work continues with Rod in the saloon with window frames and surrounding panelling getting his attention.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Bryan paid us a visit today and I think was impressed with Rex’s generator mounting ….. it does look as if it grew there.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Simon was either installing or admiring his handy work, with ceiling panels in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Colin is also adding his expertise with more panelling in the saloon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Bob started making inspection doors for the generator, our steel suppliers just love us.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

That plasma cutter is so useful ……<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Nice to have Dave back with us, he is smoothing out any bumps and divets ….. it really does look the part, and should be a show stopper when it is eventually out shopped.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Steve always with a smile, is fitting the North \/ Malvern door to 13326 ….. it will need easing in a bit, but better to have too much material than not enough.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
A busy scene in the workshop, its all happening ……<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

A storage cabinet changeover, there is never enough room. This is being replaced with a metal cabinet which will provide more bench area for welding and hot work.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Ken is I think working on the emergency brake linkage on 13326.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Ainsley is with David, our new volunteer who has joined the doorfit team ….. he will be kept busy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Upstairs in upholstery, Eve is rubbing down a seat which when finished will be going in the bar at the ‘New’ Cotswold Halt .<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

As always everyone else is busy, here with the seat upholstery for the bar seats.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

…… Laura is using the famed overlocker, making spectacle cases.<\/div>\n

Many thanks to Gerry for the photos.<\/p>\n
