Another day another small milestone. I picked up the new brass catenary supprt brackets from Huddersfield so we all have some homework over Christmas fettling and polishing them. They look and feel solid and fit the monitor ribs. Progress has continued with the waist rails and some final shaping work on the corner pillars now that the rails are screwed on. I'm not around for January so we sorted out what needs to be done over the next few weeks and what materials we need. Initial loose fitting of all 12 roof sticks went well and the roof is progressing well. Hopefully it will be reinstalled in February. There won't be any new reports now until February but I will try and get the picture gallery about the wheels done before Christmas. May I wish all readers and visitors a happy Christmas and New year. Perhaps it is appropriate in this time of advent when we await new things that 107's rebirth is making such good progress.
