A 'wet' and 'cool' Wednesday rather than cold.  Another one of little odd jobs.  I put masking tape over the joints in the monitor planking on C side so that when we apply the canvas and its waterprooffing the gunge doesn't run through onto our nice clean varnished ceiling. Later on I mixed some mastic and white spirit and applied some and success, no dribbles inside. Jim and Stephen spent the day filling and rubbing down the rubbing rails so that we can give the whole outisde a coat of primer.  All those lovely big countersunk holes we drilled have now disappeared from view.  After the ceiling I made a start on fitting the various bump stops and rails for the doors to travel on.  Some of these are now screwed in.    Bernard spent the day straightening out a door runner and various other small jobs in the workshop.  Nothing spectacular but next week we hope to start applying the canvas.

Away from the tram a quote for the axle steel has been obtained and we are sorting out the machining and where and how the wheelsets will be assembled.  The drawing is in progress for the axle so the plan is to get our wheelsets made within the next 4 months.  Also timber for the stairs has been ordered and on Friday I went to Kansa at Elsecar and got the glass that we need for the few broken ventilator lights inside the tram.  Another steady week.
