Work starts on the 502 cab

Regular readers will know that the driving cabs of both 502 vehicles have been particularly badly affected by corrosion, and an almost total rebuild is needed. The good news is that we have reached the stage where work can begin.

A couple of pictures from the weekend can be seen below (click on them to enlarge). Many thanks to Steve Dawson who has given us the benefit of his welding skills.

A full exterior rebuild of the cab front may follow, however we need to obtain the steelwork and carry out preparatory work. Donations, however small, would be greatly appreciated.
