During the restoration of HKB836 the guards compartment equipment box was found to be broken and in need of attention.
The box was dismantled and rotten wood was replaced.
Each section was painted with primer.
A new bottom rail was applied to the box.
The dismantled box painted in primer awaits painting in the authentic NSWGR brown.
The first layer of brown is applied.
Two Hinges are reapplied.
Each section is repainted and several coats of brown paint are applied.
What seems such a simple thing takes time as each coat of paint must dry before the next coat is applied.
The rebuilt and repainted box is ready to refit in the guards compartment.
Another small job done.
