following on from missing photo opportunities last week here is the branding iron cut from a solid block using hand tools around 100 years ago.

Mike and Wayne have been busy in the GWR parcels coach

Greg has been busy restoring old crates and boxes for the display luckily we have some very old ones from local firms

I got some time in on the Scammel so the dash and wiring is all back in the only part not happy is the wiper motor that has a supply and earth but will not work so a job for another day.

After a bit of battery charging the motor fired up but will not idle so yet another carb strip and clean.

The rest of the time was emptying the Boxford building so we can look at putting a floor in it before it get permanently sited and glazed and moving the old belt drive lathe so we have access to clean it up and preserve it ready to put on display.
