A nice sunny Wednesday apart from the odd shower but much got done. I arrived late having spent time at Middleton sorting out the move there in August. Jim completed the filling and rubbing down in the morning and Ian carried on painting the upper deck seat frames. I brought the last 5 frames from Downs' and so the complete set are now delivered.
In the morning the door frame was jacked up and we are now able to get the tram out of the garage. I then ground off some of the bolts that secure the landing ready for painting.
Richard Syms turned up in the afternoon and helped me to finish fitting the latts to the C side seat back which looked rather nice in the afternoon sun.
However the best bit of the day was saved till last when Jim finished putting the first undercoat of the Primrose colour on the body. The transformation is amazing.
At last the tram is starting to look how it will eventually end up. All in all a good day.
