A very warm and muggy day but quite a lot got done.  To begin with we had a rehearsal for how we are going to get the tram out of the garage when we move it.   I laid atemporary set of wooden and then steel rails in front of the garage and levelled them up.  Jim and I then shoved it as hard as we could and managed to move it about 3 ft before we ran out of walls to push against with our feet.  It's a lot heavier than the last time we moved it.  However the good news is that it moved.

Here it is with the paintwork showing well. Jim and Ian then got on with rubbing down, initially by hand and then after a trip to B & Q with power sanders, which improved the work.  I spent the morning drilling a set of floor latts and countersinking them, then in the afternoon screwed two sets down on the roof.  It's good to see the start of the seat layout showing on the roof.

Away from the tram I collected the brake columns this week and here is one of them.

After a dollop of grease it all worked well, which was a relief.

Just 2 weeks to go to the move.
