 A very busy day with a number of jobs moving on. A film crew from the University of Gloucester spent a day on the railway, they are doing a promotional film of the railway which will also count as an assignment for their University year 2.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

They were very professional, and went to many operations on the railway. A brilliant experience for them and the makings of a great video of our railway.<\/p>\n

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

They were keen to film a welding operation , so I volunteered and had to do as directed ….. a film star in the making?<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in 1675, Trevor was making more adjustments to a door which is not being cooperative.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Still with 1675, Chris is cleaning up sections of guttering ready for welding and fitting back on the carriage.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Colin looking surprised working on internal paneling in the saloon.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Welding up many holes in sections of gutter.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A view looking down from the south end of 1675, Dave is busy undercoating the various parts of the doors from the Toddington shunter before re-fitting. If we have anything which needs painting  …. this is the place to leave them with a request note (very important!).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

In 1675 saloon, the Upholstery team are measuring windows for curtains.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Ben is assisting the carpenters, trimming a piece of moulding.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Rod doing much of the same ……<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Gerry is also cleaning guttering …..<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Rex is well on the way with his fantastic build of the battery carrier for 1675.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Not sure what Phil’s is doing, but it is to do with 1675 …… many skills in use.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

13326 did not escape attention, Ken is fitting wooden blocks for the corridor connector ……<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Ken had previously drilled and tapped the studs for mounting the emergency brake rigging ….. we then braze these studs, on this occasion 7 fixings.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

Simon is working on the framework in the North vestibule.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Finally, it is good to have John back with us …. here he is making repairs to a gas locker door …. he does like bench work.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
