Hello everyone, here’s another weekend update from us at Quorn. Progress has continued on A6090 and the Pipe is very close to completion.
I concentrated on the remaining signwriting on the Pipe, completing the Empty to wording on the East side of the wagon.
Nick concentrated on A6090, scraping the barrel of yet more paint trying to get to a stable layer. In places the old Shell/BP black and white livery was coming through so we’re getting down the layers now.
Barry, Tom and Oliver joined the push on A6090, with Tom and Barry using the needle gun and Oliver joining Nick on the scraper.
The weather sadly prevented any varnishing on the Pipe, so I ended up moving from one thing to another until the Hydrovane burst it’s compressed air feed hose. Barry helped me strip it down, and we’ll be sorting that between us for next weekend.
Oliver and I swept out the A type container to have a look at the floor, which aside from being poorly supported seems to be in okay condition.
Hopefully the weather is good enough to varnish the Pipe next weekend, but we’ll take whatever comes. Join us then and see what we get up to!
