Wednesday 12th Nov after a very wet stormy night we had to change the plans.
The station master coat looks better after the dying done a couple of weeks ago.
The touring England board has been stained and clean and look new.
The process of refurbing the exhibits in the 1874 building is progressing the cash box has been cleaned off as the stain had gone grey and brass looking sorry.
A strip down and scrape over followed by some new stain and the brass polished it looks better.
The little stocks style holder also got the same treatment
The bed frame off the Morris got one coat of hammertite on the bottom after it dried before the next rainfall.
The table in 1874 looked very tired so a clean then treat with linseed oil before cleaning and placing the artefacts back on
the drums and bottles on the floor also got a make over but do you preserve the history or make like new, we like to preserve if possible.
A lower shelf also got the full treatment with one iron being stripped to clean leaving one to do.
Then more cleaning of the artefacts on the floor.
.
The Morris cab has been treated to interior de rust, preservation and priming.
The time was up.
