… to connect to the pressure washer …

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

Drinks over, back up to continue ...

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

… while Phil paints a board nearby …

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