With Tim, Colin, Cliff, Matt, Ed, Mark and Alan at Peterborough we continue with some finishing touches before our museum opening on the 2nd June.

As has become the norm, Sign-writing for Matt. First lettering applied to B780952.

For the rest of the team after a spot of cleaning of B780952s frames they assisted Ed with moving some items from one of the vans in Rail World as he begins repairs to the corrugated ends.

Once Ed was away and after Tim had cleaned off the Mackerels hand rails it was out with the black touching in the areas that were missed and now visible due to the splendid weather.

Matt applied even more lettering, this time to the Mackerel.
It’s original Scottish region allocation .

We hope you agree it looks rather smart sporting 1950 engineers black with straw lettering.

Once again a reminder of our museum open day in the afternoon of the 2nd June, there is also one of our popular freight experience days, unfortunately due to a locomotive failure this will now be with 45041. A few places remain for anyone wishing to have a drive of the Peak on a freight.

Another secret project also progressed and this will also be revealed on the 2nd.
