Friday, 4.11.2016. Just a few fire extinguishers undergoing annual inspection …

… while in the Carriage Shed, Ade and brother Nick have extracted the steel for carriage No. 24 …

… ready for assembly.

Saturday, 5.11.2016. Trefor is washing out No. 7’s boiler in advance of its winter down time …

… while up the line, work is going on dismantling fishplates …

… so that the joints can be cleaned up and re-greased.

Lunch time, and Amanda has the kettle on as Trefor brushes out No. 7’s tubes.

After lunch, Trefor joins the gang to check and tighten the completed joints …

… but it is not long before he catches up!

Sunday, 6.11.2016. Trefor assembles fittings to a hose …

… to connect to the pressure washer …

… just as the fishplate gang arrive for a ‘paned while it rains.

Drinks over, back up to continue ...

… well up the line …

… before roles are swopped with Trefor …

… to avoid having to lock up the sheds.

Work over for the day, everything is put away and wiped down.

Tuesday, 8.11.2016. The Santa materials are prepared …

… while Phil paints a board nearby …

… and Adrian marks out and trims steel for carriage No. 24’s frames.

The side plates for the carriage bogies have made it to the Engine Shed for assembly.

By the end of the day, all the steelwork for carriage No. 24 has been prepared ready for welding …

… and parts for No. 25 are also ready!

The boards for re-panelling carriage No. 20 have arrived …

… and various refinements have been added to carriage No. 20.
