It had been struck by a golf ball when passing the course at Boat of Garten. Back in 2008 when this coach was overhauled a decision was made to single glaze the side windows that had become fogged, the resulting gap in the rubber channel being taken up with hard wood inserts. Over time these inserts had shrunk and were constantly having to be re-fitted, therefore the opportunity was taken to order and fit a new set of double glazed windows, along with new rubber all round.</p><p>Pictured inside the repair shed, this side has already had its windows replaced, just the other side to do, plus while it is in the annual service will be carried out.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjoJq2j4Ox_xC_dONP324MTuh4-lpEg2EZFSLaThJZyTsRcpSGb1OlGDFyTumS2H9_REMME4SuTDcl8-TyEy5s1HOxEF5jbY6vjntAEtE9jh7FVJwWKJzN7lqAEZuwYx_KkqFIXXE2FLNvR8URF_H22FJbLbELBGbKezxayVdFodxkSwMLDnaNPt04=s2187" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="985" data-original-width="2187" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjoJq2j4Ox_xC_dONP324MTuh4-lpEg2EZFSLaThJZyTsRcpSGb1OlGDFyTumS2H9_REMME4SuTDcl8-TyEy5s1HOxEF5jbY6vjntAEtE9jh7FVJwWKJzN7lqAEZuwYx_KkqFIXXE2FLNvR8URF_H22FJbLbELBGbKezxayVdFodxkSwMLDnaNPt04=w640-h288" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p>On RU 1936, Murray has chalk stencilled the numbers and letters ready for signwriting.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgLG1G0x3SQKF_M09AvDeLFAVKg95Gii4Lqw5bFdmpTNKZXKcUic-PUG3xLUg1feOmvb19K7M9L_Zldgalyw8pAruikOYGX2CXXcxArMfTUt6MzsX3JhD5eKNCwOVyWZjItN9xVGi-rsG2_XKHIwqIbfuhW4--VkuJ13p1mAfY9x6G0vU4QKXT-3KM=s2284" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1029" data-original-width="2284" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgLG1G0x3SQKF_M09AvDeLFAVKg95Gii4Lqw5bFdmpTNKZXKcUic-PUG3xLUg1feOmvb19K7M9L_Zldgalyw8pAruikOYGX2CXXcxArMfTUt6MzsX3JhD5eKNCwOVyWZjItN9xVGi-rsG2_XKHIwqIbfuhW4--VkuJ13p1mAfY9x6G0vU4QKXT-3KM=w640-h288" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p>This one says Restaurant Car.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEihRVXQxMjT65FLZNkgq3O3yGuOBm78T6OGy_UF3VBGqMc6758cJHAOJ3xFE3JGz6FNZYXPFgr1b9A4AP-7oAaprl_77e8eHJ14ypy_YUCQBVwoemG0G0PWigIZByyTJUPjpQHLqYry0NoIZqBfK6HulNEw53EgMzvZcfdW0sfrvJYhObahNrhT_i0=s2507" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1129" data-original-width="2507" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEihRVXQxMjT65FLZNkgq3O3yGuOBm78T6OGy_UF3VBGqMc6758cJHAOJ3xFE3JGz6FNZYXPFgr1b9A4AP-7oAaprl_77e8eHJ14ypy_YUCQBVwoemG0G0PWigIZByyTJUPjpQHLqYry0NoIZqBfK6HulNEw53EgMzvZcfdW0sfrvJYhObahNrhT_i0=w640-h288" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>foxontourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00053481625494424876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758750253734020500.post-66081103856272708792021-10-29T12:16:00.000+01:002021-10-29T12:16:04.396+01:00Update October 21<p> </p><p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Well its been a while since the last post. Last october we had mark 2 TSO, 5204 and mark 1 RU, 1936 in the shed receiving attention.<br />
Here 5204 is having body work repairs, filling and rubbing down.<br />
<br />

<br />
Mark 1 RU, 1936 had been painted with a coat of grey undercoat, small defects had then been filled, rubbed down and patch painted with red oxide primer.<br />

The coach was fitted with aluminium doors a few years ago. Whilst the doors themselves are in good condition the interior door furniture was poor. Therefore it was decided to completely strip them down.<br />
<br />

<br />
The window runners and interior panels were fixed to the aluminium frame using self tapping screws. Many of these were broken with the remains of the screws still in the door and impossible to get out. This picture shows the door frame being fitted with timber inserts to which the runners and panels will now be fixed.<br />
<br />

<br />
The next picture shows a window refitted into the door. The operating mechanism at the bottom, which is called the "lazy tongues" have been cleaned and lightly oiled. The two window runners on either side have been screwed into the wooden blocks and have had new felt fitted to the slides.<br />
<br />

<br />
One of the bogies also had a problem. One of the track control tubes (not the correct name but its what I call them) had become loose and could be rotated by hand. This picture shows the tube, bolt and rubber bushes removed as well as the horn clips in preparation for lifting the coach.<br />
<br />

<br />
After lifting the coach to check the centre casting which was all ok, it was decided to change the bolster springs, fitting new spacers whilst doing so. The track control rod was refitted also using new bushes.<br />
<br />

The saloon roof panels needed edging with a moulding. This had a very tight curve at the sides and was proving very difficult to bend. This is our attempt at steam bending timber, the idea for which I got from a LMSCA video. So if you read this guys, thank you.<br />

The coach had to have a trip outside whilst the lifting jacks were moved. This profile view shows where the two windows and kitchen door have been panelled over. These are to the left, whilst the doors to the centre and right are the new emergency doors. At this stage some areas are in red oxide primer.<br />

One of the problems to over come was the balance pipe between the two water tanks. previously made of plastic, a more robust arrangement was needed. The solution was this stainless steel flexible pipe arrangement.<br />

A close up of the fitting arrangement of the bar flap and door to the emergency door. The flap sits on a batten fixed to the emergency door and simply lifts away from it. The bar door fits up against a vertical batten fitted to the emergency door and is secured by a brass bolt. The action of opening the emergency door, which swings outwards, releases the bolt allowing the bar door to swing out of the way.<br />

A major project that we have taken on during the winter break is the re-upholster of mark 1 TSO 5057. For some time now the seat cushions were becoming more and more thread bare and were in need of attention. The coach is pictured here outside the carriage shed attached to mark 1 TSO 5060 which has the same seat material. Any seat cushions in 5057 that had been recovered and were still in reasonable condition were exchanged with worn ones from 5060 to improve the interior of that vehicle.<br />

Removal of the seats revealed an earlier seat material, possibly the original fitted when it was built. This red and black striped material was known as red candy stripe.<br />
<br />

<br />
A small area of four tables being separated from the rest of the coach by a bulkhead had green and black candy stripe material. The seat sides were fitted with green Formica, whereas the rest of the coach had grey Formica and the bulkhead showed signs of where hinges for a swing door had been fitted. Research into this suggests that this area was the smoking compartment.<br />

The interior after the seat frames had been removed. We have run into further problems, the lino was lifting under the tables, dirt had got underneath which when cleaned out, in trying to re-fix the lino it broke owing to being brittle. The whole coach will have to have the lino renewed. The next problem is that two of the steam heat pipes had cracked and have to be removed for repairs. Finally the window rubber is perished and will need replacing.<br />

Not a brilliant picture but this is a steam heating on / off valve which controls the pipe on the left. The bend on the pipe on the right is the end of the next steam heat pipe arrangement, its valve will be at the end which is out of sight away to the right. Steam enters via the valve along the small pipe, flows around the pipe and exits via the pipe which goes through the floor. The casting into which the entry and exit pipes attach is where the cracking has occurred.<br />

With eight large batteries being fitted inside the battery boxes, to cut down on the number of wires criss-crossing the area, a system of buss bars have been fitted. The batteries will be two at the bottom and two on the top in each box. This will require a support shelf to be made before they can be fitted.<br />

A switch box has been fitted in the line to protect the generator when first powering up. This needs a support bracket to be made and fitted.<br />

The picture below shows the floor in the bar area.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1UuxcqdkU9Y/W-ihil5j2PI/AAAAAAAAElY/W-GWQO6fy60Jju40Sowx25Ae0oUePtYngCLcBGAs/s1600/20181107_115304.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1UuxcqdkU9Y/W-ihil5j2PI/AAAAAAAAElY/W-GWQO6fy60Jju40Sowx25Ae0oUePtYngCLcBGAs/s640/20181107_115304.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The floor in the kitchen, pictured below has also been fitted in place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This view shows the additional battens in the roof above the bar. This is where the glass rack will be fitted. Also in the picture is the first ceiling panel to be fitted in place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Look no wheels, it almost looks like levitation, as pointed out by my arm in the picture. The coach has been lifted into the air ready for the bogies. Inside the coach the new ceiling panels can be seen, the first three have been put into place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The bogies being rolled into place under the coach.<br />

<br />
Lowering the coach onto the bogie. Watching for the centre pin to engage properly with the bogie bolster plank.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IbPPGMSA6xg/W-ihmeMtsaI/AAAAAAAAEls/HNGe66m9dcgDZYKl_q8R4QCasQ_BxPAYACLcBGAs/s1600/20181111_110957.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IbPPGMSA6xg/W-ihmeMtsaI/AAAAAAAAEls/HNGe66m9dcgDZYKl_q8R4QCasQ_BxPAYACLcBGAs/s640/20181111_110957.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The bogies have been placed under the coach to enable the drop links and support beam to be fitted under the bolster. This involves using the weight of the vehicle to jack the bolster upwards against it. This squeezes the springs together allowing the support beam to be put into place. The bogies will have to come out again later to complete the brake components and fit the safety straps.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j6qVxoZycjI/W-ihncs9dLI/AAAAAAAAElw/iRq_PfiEtjQqKeDQRCoZ9IhvaflObkUdgCLcBGAs/s1600/20181111_145444.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j6qVxoZycjI/W-ihncs9dLI/AAAAAAAAElw/iRq_PfiEtjQqKeDQRCoZ9IhvaflObkUdgCLcBGAs/s640/20181111_145444.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
These tubes are like track control arms. They ensure that the bolster plank stays central in the bogie. They have rubber bushes at each end with steel washers acting as spacers. all of these parts had to be replaced as they were all life expired.<br />
This picture also shows the drop arms with the support beam in place under the bottom bolster plank. This via the spring nests supports the top bolster plank on which the coach body sits.<br />

The tanks were removed for two reasons. firstly the cladding surrounding the tanks was corroding and the insulation was leaking out. Secondly the interior had debris inside which looked like rust particles, the composition of the tanks had to be checked to find the source.<br />
<br />
The insulation material was tested and found to not contain anything nasty, so we proceeded to remove this. Pictured below are the cleaned up tanks, which are of a copper construction.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NuVB3aI1WcE/W9zFqxH72bI/AAAAAAAAEiw/AvYhpac1NeMaxvitePI7nF2mXQ6d6pEEgCEwYBhgL/s1600/20181017_163620.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NuVB3aI1WcE/W9zFqxH72bI/AAAAAAAAEiw/AvYhpac1NeMaxvitePI7nF2mXQ6d6pEEgCEwYBhgL/s640/20181017_163620.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The rust was found to have come from the filler pipes. Two mild steel collars had been fitted which had rusted, these are being replaced by brass fittings.<br />
The tanks were covered with insulation about 12mm thick. This was then covered with a galvanised steel sheet, banded to keep it in place. The ends were created by cutting the ends off two 45 gallon drums, which fitted perfectly.<br />
The two tanks with completed insulation and cladding.<br />

<br />
The tanks were given a coat of primer and gloss paint, before being refitted. The inspection hatches have been refitted using new gaskets.<br />

At the end of the last blog we had fitted the new horn guides to the bogie frame, which was still upside down.<br />
Here is has been righted and dropped onto its wheel sets.<br />

We had an interruption in the form of a Royal Scotsman carriage which needed attention to one of its bolster springs. To accommodate this we had to place the RU onto a pair of accommodation bogies and empty the shed.<br />

That is as far as we can go with the bogies for now. The next move with them will be to put them under the carriage. This will provide the weight to allow the bottom bolster to be jacked up, squeezing the springs until the bottom bar, which holds the bolster together, can be fitted.<br />

Apologies for the long delay in updating the blog, work, selling the house and holidays in that order have contributed to getting in the way.<br />
Following on from the last post in which we were finishing off the winter servicing, we brought mark 1 RU, 1936 back into the shed to progress its overhaul. It is pictured below in the far end of the shed. In the foreground we have a B5 bogie which will be used under mark 2 BFK, 17101 which has wheel flats. However both axles will have to be changed on this one first.<br />

Removing the wheel set on a B5 is easier than on a commonwealth or an earlier B1 bogie. Once the four bolts attaching the dampers have been removed, the bogie can be lifted off the axle.<br />

Carriage servicing</h3>
During the closed season all of our operational rolling stock get a visit to the carriage repair shed. Here they receive a service check, repairs are carried out, then we finish off with a clean and polish.<br />
<br />
At the end of the last blog we saw the p-way tool van / mess room being fitted with refurbished bogies. here it is pictured in the yard having been shunted out of the shed.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Prior to their entry into the shed, each coach receives a wash. Here it is the turn of mark 1 TSO 4777 and mark 2 brake, 17101.<br />

We have been very grateful for the help given by the p-way gang this year. When they couldn't get out onto the track owing to the weather, they have joined us to t cut and polish the paint work, as well as cleaning the windows. here Jim is applying more cutting compound to his cloth.<br />

The glare of light from outside affects the camera a lot this time of year. More polishing activity can just be observed through the glare.<br />

The coaches had suffered from being coated in grime and brake dust which wouldn't come off with normal washing. The end result of a lot of hard work is shown in this picture.<br />

In 17101 and 35069, the two compartment vehicles, the carpets get soiled easily as they are used for dining. Therefore we renew the carpets on an annual basis, here a compartment in 17101 has had the old carpet lifted and the heater protecting grid removed.<br />

Also in 17101 the hand brake was very stiff to apply. The linkage was stripped and lubricated making it very easier to operate.<br />

One final job on 17101 was the drop light in the parcels area which crashed to the bottom of the door as soon as it was touched. The interior panel was removed to give attention to the lazy tongues which operate it.<br />

35069 is usually part of the dining set and usually operates with electric heating. During the Christmas running it joins the service set and operates on steam heating. As the steam heat is rarely used we found two fairly bad leaks that we were unaware of.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the leaks was in the flange where it joins the headstock. </div>

The offending flange where daylight can be seen from a hole in the pipe. This area was very thin from corrosion and had to be plated over. The bolts also had to be drilled out, the remains of the bolts can be seen with a hole drilled into them as the first stage of getting them out.<br />

One of the bigger jobs this winter was the water system on kitchen car 1928. The original 1960 system was a compressor which pressurised the water tanks to force water out of the taps when they were opened. This system could not keep up with the demand so it was replaced with a new diaphragm suction pump and small reservoir.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To house the new pump the existing compartment for the compressor was used, however this needed extending to accommodate the larger pump.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below is a picture of the new pump in its housing.</div>

This is a picture of one of the previous bogies, it shows the horn guides still in place after the axle has been removed. These have to be cut off and if they are still serviceable, be cleaned up and re-fitted.<br />
<br />

<br />
There are two types of horn guide, this is the one with the cut out for the equalising beam. It has been removed and we are looking at the rear of it. This is the area where rust builds up, forcing the guide outwards, trapping the axle box. This will be cleaned and painted with primer ready for re-fitting.<br />

This picture shows the refitted guides which are held in place, at the correct distance apart, ready for welding into place. The chalk marks are the welding guides, the book of words says that there should be three welds on each side, approximately two inches long, one at the top, one bottom and one in the middle.<br />

Commonwealth bogie horn guides</h3>
One of the problems that we have had whilst renovating a commonwealth bogie, is the replacement of the horn guides. The horn guides are two pieces of metal, bonded together by rubber. The inner metal channel fits over the leg of the bogie frame and is welded into place. The outer metal channel forms the guide in which the axle bearing housing is held. Over time water gets between the bogie leg and the welded inner channel, rust forms which eventually pushes the outer channel onto the bearing housing. This then traps the bearing housing in place, not allowing the suspension to perform its up and down movement properly.<br />
When removing the old horn guide the welds have to be cut out, this tends to destroy the guide, meaning a new replacement has to be found. At £250 each and eight to each bogie, its quite an expense. They are also not available off the shelf and have to be specially made to order.<br />
Alan has had past experience of rubber moulding and decided to set about making our own. A new inner channel was made, with the old outer being cleaned up by shot blasting and set aside for reuse. Alan then made a mould and set about making the new guides.<br />
<br />
Below is the completed guide, looking at the inner channel which fits over the bogie leg.<br />

<br />
Whilst I have been away the lads at the shed have been refurbishing a pair of commonwealth bogies. Although these bogies are currently under the RU, they are destined to be used under the P-way departments BG mess vehicle. The reason for this is that we have utilised four axles that have had their tyres re-profiled, resulting in the tyres now being under the minimum thickness. The p-way BG is sitting on bogies that have very good tyres, with plenty of use left in them, hence they are required for the RU. The undersized tyres will be perfectly good for the limited use that the p-way vehicle gets.<br />
<br />
A commonwealth bogie minimum tyre thickness is 35mm and the wheels that we have used have a tyre thickness of 32 / 33mm. The 35mm minimum is for a bogie which will run at 100 mph, so at our maximum speed of 25mph, 32/33mm is probably fine, however we work to the former British Railways standards for coach repairs.<br />
<br />
The replacement axles pictured inside the shed, having been needle gunned cleaned and painted. They are at the undercoat stage.<br />

<br />
A Commonwealth bogie is fitted with roller bearings, as these axles have been standing outside for a long time the rollers needed cleaning, the grease needed replacing with new gaskets being fitted to the bearing caps.<br />

A Willie Dodds paint special! not so sure that white gloss is a good idea, however it certainly creates an effect, Gloss black tyre rims to finish.<br />

Bogie number 10 completed. This has been a huge learning curve for us, we have changed axles and horn guides before, but we have never changed the centre coil springs on the bolster. <br />
<br />

<br />
The bogie has six coil springs each side, the centre springs have an inner and an outer coil. When it was dismantled, one of the inner coils was found to be broken, with the top and bottom mounting pads completely disintegrated. A replacement spring was sourced, new neoprene pads made and the original steel discs cleaned up and painted. <br />

Originally it had been fitted with Gresley bogies. This was carried out by British Railways because the BR1 bogies it had when built were not stable enough. The Gresley bogies were heavy duty and cured the stability problem. The Gresley bogies unfortunately were worn out, we had planned to fit a pair of B5 bogies and had already fitted one at the kitchen end. However lack of another B% and doubts over the brake linkage has led to a rethink and it will now have a pair of commonwealth bogies fitted.<br />
Another picture below of the coach on the jacks. It is being lowered down to a workable level, it will be left on the jacks with baulks of timber at each corner for stability.<br />

After the bogies have been removed it reveals the centre casting. The polished boss and the greasy pin below it, are the parts that locate into the bogie. To change the bogie to a different type we have to change the casting to one that matches with the new bogie.<br />

When the casting has been removed it leaves the mounting plate. This will have to have new holes drilled in it, to match the new casting.<br />

Inside, the kitchen will be completely redesigned, as a result of this we no longer need the old compressors that worked the bottle cooling unit. The picture below shows the very heavily over engineered compressor housing after it had been removed from underneath the coach. The space where it came from will be used to create a housing for an on board generator.</div>

We have some additional visitors at the moment. When we went to get new propane bottles for the dining car, we found a very vocal blackbird protesting at our entry into the gas store. There is also an Oyster catcher that has laid its eggs in the gravel of the old Speyside platform.<br />

<br />
After washing the service set, we noticed that 5057 and 5060 were both low on brake blocks. They were both detached and shunted over to the shed exit line to have the blocks changed. This was the nearest point to the carriage shed that we could get to.<br />

First of all we hosted the two steam engines, both of which required lifting to remove wheel sets. Over the last few weeks we have been hosting the class 27 diesel, followed by the class 08 shunt engine, both of which were in the shed for repainting.<br />
The class 27 which was returned to as built condition, without any yellow ends. Whilst it was with us, all of the cab doors were rebuilt, as were the cab floors, which were replaced with new plywood.<br />

At one end of the kitchen is a seating bay for the staff. This was carpeted which the Environmental Health Lady did not like and asked for it to be replaced with lino. When the carpet was lifted it revealed a small area of rotten floor.<br />

<br />
The officer's saloon has also visited the shed. This coach had to be lifted, initially to fit a refurbished brake cylinder underneath. Then it was noticed that the centre casting pins were sitting higher than normal, therefore the coach was lifted clear of its bogies to check what was going on. The head of the pin was found to be riding high on a bed of dirt and rust, after cleaning these returned to normal. The coach had a check over before being returned to the storage shed.<br />

Mark 1 RU, 1936.<br />
<br />
The last post showed the new mounting bolts for the saloon end corridor connection. This is shown below whilst it is being fitted in place. The fork lift is used to raise it into position, whilst Bill places the securing bolts in place. Jack, Steve and Ralph look on. The new rubber bellows which had been attached to the rear of the face plate earlier, will be fitted to the bodywork, once the face plate has been secured in place.<br />

After the face plate and bellows had been fitted, the coach had to be placed on one side once again. This is because we had to start on the annual round of servicing and repairs.<br />
First in was the dining train kitchen, Mark 1 4331. This was the opportunity to try to cure the whining noise that was coming from the wheel bearings. This noise had resisted all attempts to cure it, the thoughts now were that it was coming from the dust pads at the rear of the axle boxes.<br />

The bogies being attended to. To remove the dust shields, the brake rigging had to be dismantled, each axle in turn removed, then the axle box, bearing and slipper pad need to be removed. Then the dust shields can be replaced. The old ones had broken up and jammed against the axle, so we are reasonably hopeful that we have found the problem and cured it.<br />

This coach was originally a 64 seat TSO and was converted to a kitchen many years ago. The kitchen area is behind large clear glass windows and shows the back of equipment etc. We obtained some opaque film and applied this to the windows.<br />

A visitor to the shed was the tender belonging to caley 828. This was lifted back onto its newly tyred wheels using the carriage jacks. Pictured below showing off its new boots.<br />

<br />
We have had a number of visitors, leading to a lack of carriage news. In addition to 828's tender we have had Ivatt loco 46512 back in to be returned to its wheels as well. 46512's wheels had been away for tyre turning. Finally class 27 diesel, 5394 is currently in the shed for a repaint into Green.<br />

The first to be dealt with is mark 1, CK, 15401, pictured here being shunted along the shed exit road.<br />
<br />

When at the back of the shed the fork lift was used to place the tarpaulin's onto the roof.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kZ8VMvdWI14/WHUIscNHocI/AAAAAAAACr4/Lcluc3Fl4RszVHf5a3AU6ORHjywZ7Dn5ACLcB/s1600/20161202_143304_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kZ8VMvdWI14/WHUIscNHocI/AAAAAAAACr4/Lcluc3Fl4RszVHf5a3AU6ORHjywZ7Dn5ACLcB/s640/20161202_143304_HDR.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The coach was then shunted into the repair shed to have the tarpaulin's unfolded and secured in place. Whilst inside the shed the axle bearings were given an oil change and pad exam to ensure that nothing goes wrong on the trip along the line.<br />
<br />

Back on mark 1 RU 1936<br />
The roof vents have all been shotblasted, painted with red oxide primer and re-fitted with new rubber gaskets.<br />

<br />
Inside another section of floor had to be lifted to renew some of the steam heat pipe work. This picture shows the new pipe coming through the corrugated panel. This panel is fixed to the side of the floor bearers and hold the fibre glass insulation against the underside of the plywood floor.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The steam heat pipes fixed back in place against the side. These were tested on Saturday 31.12 when we arranged for the engine to come to the shed at lunch time. The results of this were not very good, only one of the four pipes heated up and there were a number of leaks. These issues will be looked into but the next test will probably have to wait for the start of the running season in March.<br />

The corridor connection face plate was set up on some wooden boxes for the fitting of the rubber bellows and damper units.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the metal hoop fixed in place at the end of the coach. When the corridor face plate is fitted in place, the rubber bellows attach to this metal hoop.<br />
<br />

<br />
The corridor connection face plate mounts onto these spring loaded arms. This is the right hand one which has an original metalastic bush in place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RBU4AMqwdr4/WHUI24G5UtI/AAAAAAAACtI/NZhvCHJ_T_8KjZ2d7EJ8rIZFvHMSFsUbgCEw/s1600/20161231_144833.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RBU4AMqwdr4/WHUI24G5UtI/AAAAAAAACtI/NZhvCHJ_T_8KjZ2d7EJ8rIZFvHMSFsUbgCEw/s640/20161231_144833.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
Unfortunately the mounting bolts do not come out of the metalastic bush easily, usually the bush gets destroyed in the process. This is what has happened to the left hand bush. To correct this a metal bush has to be turned to take the place of the rubber section. The metalastic bush is there to act as a shock absorber, at our slow speeds, replacing it with a solid bush makes little difference.<br />

The mounting arms all ready for the fitting of the face plate. This has been delayed owing to a visitor to the shed, blocking the fork lift truck from accessing the back of the coach.<br />
