A steady day of preparation ready for glazing the tram on Saturday.  In the morning I picked up the tie bars that connect the bottom of the axleboxes.  These tie the whole structure together and also keep the wheelsets the correct distance apart so that the brakes work properly. They look and feel heavy enough for the job.  At the tram Jim and I spent the day drilling, mitreing, cutting and fitting glazing beads, some 60 in all.  These have to be ready for Saturday morning and Jim has taken them home to coat them in Cuprinol and then primer.  A drilling jig made the drilling of all the angled screw holes a lot easier.  Hopefully I will have some photos on Saturday when we glaze the tram.
