Over Christmas and New Year work continued on the new site in St. Germans. In early December we took delivery of chassis’ and wheels which some of the carriages will rest on:
The chassis and wheels are lifted into place.
In the New Year, Dave, Lizzy and Nic travelled to Buckfastleigh in Devon to prepare one of the new carriages. Over two days they dismantled an existing wooden structure around the carriage (donning space-suits due to asbestos) and prepared the carriage roof. Once the carriage and the new site are both ready the carriage will head to St. Germans.
The railholiday "spacemen" get to work on the asbestos-riddled roof.
The last of the wood is dismantled.
Covering the carriage roof.
There’s still plenty more to do so stay tuned.
