Back at the
end of August, Phil was fixing together the framework that will form the main structure of the new carriages. Even though I try to follow these projects, there are inevitably times when I'm not in or simply run out of time, so here I find that the carriages have been completely assembled and painted. I've also discovered that they are going to be the open type, meaning that Bressingham will now have three open and three closed carriages to run on the Nursery Line.
Framework assembled and painted
Roof support
John (the one that I met on
my very first day) has been busy making the roof supports — they have to be cut to an exact profile so that the roof will fit snugly.
From the outside
Spars for the seats
The first three photographs were taken two weeks ago, in that time all the spars that form the seats have been cut to length and positioned awaiting fixing and John's working on the wooden steps that need cutting to profile as well.
Apologies for the poorer quality of the first three photographs, but with
horrid difficult lighting, my tripod back in the car and the shed about to be locked up for the night it was a case of grabbing what I could.
