If you have been in the Loco Shed recently you will have noticed the lattice parapets being repaired by a large team. Progress has focused on one side in order to ensure quality & manage workloads.
First the needle gunning was undertaken.
Then where the joints were packed out with rust they were disassembled, repaired & painted then re-riveted.
Half of the above rivets are new and half original - I can't tell the difference!
Thanks to everyone for their hard work.
Regards, Sarah
Excellent job on the rivets - I can see why you can't tell the difference!
ReplyDeleteThis may be a small job, compared to some other civils things that need doing, but everything the volunteers can do will save a few pounds for the GWSR. It all adds up!
Thanks for the update.
More excellent refurbishment by the volunteer metalworkers. Thanks for the update Sarah.
