Sunday, September 27, 2009 at 11:06PM Today a major milestone in the restoration of 107 was reached when the LTHS placed an order for the production of 4 new chilled cast iron wheels with. This is the first part of the new running gear to be ordered. Information to feed the design process has come from many sources and the wheel profile has been modified slightly from the 1898 original to make them safe to run on modern tramway track.
Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 8:50PM Another good day and not too cold. Jim and I spent the day nailing panelling on C side. We now for the first time have all the pannelling on. At the moment only 1 layer on C side and 2 layers on A side. The ends are complete. We also spent more time looking at the doors and working out how they fit with the end screens. Steven spent the day doing final shaping on some seat bearers. Also the roof sticks came back from having heir chamfers machined on and even Paul was impressed. They look good.
