Some more steady progress.  Jim and Paul spent the day making the last upper deck plank that is being made in 2 halves to fit.  Both halves have now been measured and cut and grooved so that they can be joined to make one wider board that fills the gap.  Hopefully they should be fitted next week.  Ian Dougill spent the day painting metalwork including the axlebox covers which were delivered today.  Stephen and I spent time in the afternoon starting to reassemble the old underframe so that we can build a truckand make the measurements needed for the manufacture of the last tie bars.  I should have some pictures next week of the underframe.  All in all a good day with a full team on site.
