(Apologies that this update is out of sequence!)

Work started on the three vans shunted in to Wansford yard for attention to the vacuum braking systems.

By the end of the session, two cylinders had been removed and moved to the workbench for refurbishment, with two overhauled cylinders ready to fit.

It was more involved than expected, with brake rigging and handles having to be removed to gain sufficient access to the cylinders.

Later, having had the chance to get cleaned up, those who were able met up for the Wagon Group Christmas Meal.
