The latest work party took place at Tebay earlier today. Despite only a few people being in attendance, a lot of useful progress was made.
Work focused on the interior of the driving trailer coach (29896), the interior of which is being steadily stripped. Today was spent removing seat cushions and other internal fittings. Also removed was the great variety of spare parts acquired over the course of the unit’s preservation career, and which had been piled up inside since leaving Steamport. The trailer car is now largely clear of such items.
Weather permitting, it is expected that a work party will take place at least once a month throughout the year. Any member of the group is welcome to attend. If you don’t have any previous preservation experience, don’t worry: the only requirement is enthusiasm (and an ability for some physical labour from time to time). If you attend we will definitely find something for you to do!
