This week some undercoat has been applied to the LMS Brake Van M730562 at Rothley; meanwhile at Quorn there has been some good progress getting primer on Catfish DB983393.
Tom, Dan and Nick worked on the Brake Van at Rothley.
With many hands making light work on Saturday at Quorn, Tom, Mark, Oliver and Dan got stuck into cleaning down the last few bits on DB983393 with the needle gun and sanders. They were later joined by Nick and Charlie.
Ernie started applying primer to areas already cleaned down last week.
While the rest of the team concentrating on the cleaning and painting, Ross started to weld up the outside of the patches on DB993560. It’s the first time Ross had welded a panel inclined towards him and it turned out to be a bit tricky!
The sun got to be in a position where it made the welding visor unusable, so he got a bit distracted and gave Hector a haircut.
The Catfish painting continued in earnest through the afternoon.
With Ross otherwise engaged on Sunday, Mark, Tom, Dan, Oliver and myself continued with the needle gun, scrapers and wire brushes on the ends of Catfish DB983393.
Some more primer was then applied.
Thankfully the primer is quick drying as the rain set-in during the afternoon.
Thanks for reading, all the best, Dave
