Wednesday the 17th July a sunny warm day unlike the rest of july

.Greg has been busy with the Morris body work the grille has been de -rusted, repaired and filled now nearly ready for the red top coat.

He gas also rebuilt the gang masters horn so it now sounds.

Then it was crane work the plan is to strip it to straighten the top cross shaft which get bent during installation then repaint it the correct charcoal grey.  

Loads of wire brush wheels in the drill and a selection of abrasive paper and pads along with a hammer and chisel should be ok.

The 2 selector levers need to come off a simple task of one split pin out remove the washer and pull the levers off their pivot pin resulted in 2 hours of getting no where as the outer is part seized and locks solid if moved a fraction.

Whilst up the the trains were passing on what looked quite a busy day.

The rust and peeling paint removal was a lot easier bit messy under the hot sun but we got some primer on to protect it. 

So not much result for the hours that are going in . It looks like we need the hot oxy propane gas torch on parts to get it all free for removal..
