Wednesday the 22nd Feb a cooler day but the overnight rain had stopped so the first task was to uncover the scammel flatbed trailer and inflate one tyre but after fitting 2 valve inserts it still leaked.

so I emptied a few years of rubbish off the top and we tried to remove the folded to quadruple layer cargo sheet but this required cutting through all 4 layers to release several gallons of water.

once off the sheet was cut up to make it manageable

The trailer has no bed boards but the previous owner had spent some money having a new bed frame made..

A quick look into the museum coach to see how Mike and Wayne were getting on and it is taking shape.

They were outside putting a frame in the goods sign,

The sign in process of being mounted

I finished the 400+ screws in the Boxford floor boards and adjusted the door whilst Greg mixed stain and linseed oil to treat the new floor so it is now complete..

We then moved to the Morris drop side and stripped out a front brake so the drum could be blasted and painted whilst I stripped the brakes as piston are seized and rust has lifted the friction material off the shoes so a major rework is needed as the plan is to have a roadworthy truck.
