Photographs taken between 22nd & 25th July 2017

Saturday, 22.7.2017. As it should be – Tony cleans windows in the carriages before the day’s operations …

… while Ioan, Mike and Jack prepare No. 7 …

… in a part of the shed where they can reach the top of the saddle tank!

Once outside and coupled to the train, Ioan and Jack water No. 7.

The late running 16.45 train makes a fine sight as it departs from Maespoeth.

The roof line of the carriages emphasises the change in gradient from Maespoeth Bank to the Carriage Shed access!

Sunday, 23.7.2017. Dave waters No. 7 at the “old” water point before the first train of the day.

Andy calls by with a box of “goodies” for carriage No. 24 …

… before cleaning up side frames for the next carriage bogie …

… and stacking the parts together ready for his next visit to Maespoeth.

Monday, 24.7.2017. Will Trefor be going hungry this week?

Tuesday, 25.7.2017. Bob is back on the lathe, turning up spacers for carriage No. 24 as a brief interlude from screw couplings …

… while Stevie drills the remaining coupling pins …

… and Bill and Charles have changed the First Aid box holder on loco No. 6.

In the Carriage Shed, after much setting up and adjusting, the two passenger saloons on carriage No. 24 have been aligned so Adrian can start cutting metal again for the North saloon …

… while adjacent, Neil marks out the corners of carriage No. 23 to chamfer them …

… as Graham trims back mouldings (yes, it was warm today!) …

… and Bill is following up by plane sailing!

After more careful measuring and comparison, the first roof board on carriage No. 23 is aligned …

… and drilled, tapped and screwed into position with many hands steadying the ship!

By now, Adrian is well into his stride, adding fresh metal to the body frames of carriage No. 24, and nearly all steel has now been cut – plenty of welding work for next week!
