Network Rail Volunteer days Interim Report

Half way through the week!

We have made great progress over the last two days with most of the outside of the cab stripped back to bare metal, and a coat of primer on the roof!  We have added a few pictures as an interim report and a full report will follow after the weekend.

Day 1

Slow progress to start with!
Following a short tea break, things moved on!
 
Work was carried out on two levels
Jusat a few areas to be cleaned off wait for Day 2

 Day 2

More paint and rust removal
 
It became obvious that to get to the edges of the roof the gutters would need to be removed!
 
Dabi gets to grips with the paint and rust removal on the front cab sheet
 
More stripping!
 
So this is the ultimate "painting yourself into a corner"!
