Dry fitting the softwood planks that make up the interior at the outer end of the passenger section. Once removed these will be filled, knotted and primed, with the final finish will be medium oak scumble, protected by non-yellowing varnish. Progress is being made on fitting the exterior panelling (primed and grain-filled).

Holding up one of the long handrails, to test the fit, which needed quite some strength from that angle. Not that you can see who it is, but that's our apprentice, Connor. Our blacksmith was working from a combination of our dimensions and drawings, plus some very grainy old images (and one good one).

Gently shunting "23" around at Blythe Bridge, partly for brake and clearance tests. (the double "luggage" doors will be re-hung in a day or two).

Workmen travelled using these older carriages, as they were "cascaded" from mainline onto more secondary and then local services, eventually ending their days in "paddy trains". Some would then be scrapped but others would receive a coat of green paint before being sold off as holiday chalets, store sheds and the like. One suggestion is that this image was taken on the Cheddleton Hospital Branch. The carriage on the extreme left is a passenger brake, of the type the Knotty Coach Trust were planning to replicate, until the remains at Rudyard Lake were identified. Not my image; and with a date about 1900, out of copyright.
