Not a lot to report today.  On another tack entirely Paul Brearley, Jim Soper and I went over to Heaton Park on Sunday and rode on L53 done up in Leeds livery. For me it was my first ever ride on a horse tram. A foretaste of what is to come with 107. On a more serious note a plaque was unveiled in Leeds 6 to the memory of Alex Brown, this was unveiled by his brother.  Alex was the man who saved Leeds 6 but he was also the person who found 107. He will be sadly missed.

Today Jim spent the day sanding and filling A side pannelling and then warming it up with a fan heater before putting the first coat of primer on.

Paul started to fit the rubbing rail on C side.  After we had got it on we realised it was upside down.  Next week its start again and get it lined up with the continuation on the end bulkhead.

I continued to fettle the tenons on the roof sticks and they all now fit easily into the upper cantrail. (This goes on after the roof structure so must slide onto all 12 roof sticks at once).  Then it was time to start to clean and sand down the sticks ready for fitting.  I got 4 of the 12 done and trial fitted 2 of them to the monitors. They look good.   Now all we need to do is find a supplier of shellac so that we can put a coat on the exposed bits of mastic inside the tram, before painting.
