 With so many things on the move, it was bits and pieces of a day.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

I heard it, so had to get outside, my first train this year.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

A rare photo of Ian, he is cleaning radiators due to go back into 1675.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

1675, Rex and Gerry moving on with the battery carrier, it is a one off precision construction.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

This was a little earlier, removing redundant brackets with the gas axe! Yes my overalls are flame retardant .<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

…… and so to 13326, the brake linkage is going back on, the studs are threaded and brazed into position.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

Simon is fitting out the North end, although we have to do a few adjustments to the door fit.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

Attending to a HSE matter, re-labelling the gas locker outside  …. just the one cylinder.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

….. dashing upstairs to upholstery, the team are working on seats for 4798 ……<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

Back in the main workshop, a very useful addition to the tools, very sturdy and mobile.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

We get requests from other departments, here Steve is making two metal channels for building maintenance.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

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

Bob is making gas locker doors for 1675.<\/p>\n

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

…… welding repairs to other door assemblies.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

…… Ben and David discussing further work in 1675.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This is Dave working in the South vestibule of 1675, it is beginning to take shape.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I am not sure what Trevor is working on here, but all small steps are turning into big steps.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A very busy day …..<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Many thanks to Gerry and Eve for the excellent photos.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
