Hello and welcome to a Diesel Gala weekend update; we’ve had the Test Car open to visitors, Dan has progressed with his Lowfit lettering challenge and work on tank 3854 continues.


Whilst myself and Ross looked after the Test Car, Ernie entertained visitors to our stand, all helping to raise much needed funds towards the restoration work; thank you to those who have supported us this weekend.


Dan completed the west body side Lowfit lettering and made a start on the underframe with the vacuum release stars.




Nick, Mark, Tom, Oliver, Daniel and James did some more paint removal from 3854s tank barrel; following up at each stage with red-oxide primer.









Join us again next week for a bank-holiday update, in the meantime here’s a few views of diesels passing the Test Car over the weekend.
