The autumn months have witnessed volunteers focus on assistance with restoration work on 143 and several LTT events but the onset of winter has allowed work to resume on the Railcoach.Both cabs are now stripped down awaiting the Trailer towing car steel cab underframes to be cut-off. On the body sides, the flush mounted glazing panels have all been removed and the window frames have now been cleaned up ready for painting. The lower framework has been treated to a coat of red oxide and the steelwork de-rusted and painted.
Above the window line, the flat mouldings have also been removed and the panels cleaned up ready for the original style mouldings to be refitted.
