A touch of mid week work this week as Tim and Phil applied paint, first to the chassis of our future fruit van;

Then to the overhauled vacuum cylinders.

Tim also manufactures hose seals in the week.

Unfortunately, insufficient numbers meant it was not possible to carry out the planned cylinder replacements, those on site were able to blow the train pipe with compressed air and fitted the new hose seals to bags and dummies.

B768248 has also moved into the heavy overhaul building and is ready for repairs to its W irons.

Finally, the overhauled cylinders were brought to Wansford
