Another good day and getting distinctly cooler.  I needed my jumper for the first time since last winter.  A full turnout meant that many jobs got done.  I had collected a variety of mouldings that we need to finish the exterior of the  body from Tattersfields at Heckmondwike.  Andrew, there, is now doing all our major joinery supply as Keith Robinson of Phoenix Joinery has retired.     Ian carried on painting the various bits of metalwork and then spent the afternoon trimming mastic from round the staircase that we fitted last week. 

Jim and I trial fitted the B end staircase and found that it needed shortening by 14mm.  Jim set to work on that while I spent some time finalising the saloon seat design.  Jim then started fitting some of the bodyside mouldings. These cover all the joints betwen the door/window/corner pillars and the bodyside panels. I spent the afternoon in the workshop shortening bolts and drilling brackets for the B end staircase.

Paul spent the day angle grinding the brake beams so that they fitted the brake shoes.  This work was necessary due to a design error on my part.  Jim also brought back most of the saloon monitor vents which he has glazed and varnished. They look great after all the work Paul and Jim have done on them. 

Stephen also called in and spent some time rubbing down filler at B end.  I've now got to do the final drawings for the seat frames and various parts of the brake columns.
