Wednesday the 2nd Nov



 After a clean up in Taylors office a piece of wood under the door bottom strip will stop the leaves blowing under whilst the railway is closed but a permanent job is required in the future. 




Greg cut 4 X 10.25” panes of glass for the AA box which were then shot blasted one side and a thin coat of white paint applied. 3 of these got fitted behind the roof AA signs using mirror mounts on the interior so they can be changed if needed in the future. 



The front needs longer screws brought as the original tin and hardboard is thicker than the other 2mm steel sides.  .Greg has been busy with the platform scales adding gold leaf and repainting so whilst we were there together we tipped them up and reassembled the internal linkages.





 

Greg drove the Iron Horse from the station yard back to storage where the drivers windscreen  got removed as there was water ingress and rust showing which was a hole so he made new corner and bottom panels where the old repair had rotted out.
