Matt popped into Peterborough today to apply some more paint to the Palvan. Headstocks, the Northside main chassis rail and some details to the body supports.

Next session should see a new Inner South door and attention to the outer door which after a touch of painting will see the body work complete. Regards the brakes, the handbrake is serviceable with our winter project being to look at getting the running rake as well as the Conflat and this vehicle’s automatic vacuum brake in operation.

Finally keep an eye on our Facebook and website, the participants of our Sold Out Deltic Freight Experience have been contacted and offered a place on a replacement event due to the unavailability of 55009, so there may be a couple of spaces becoming available with 37714.
