You may remember the last update to this story in December last year. The last update is located here.
Whilst there has been no update since late last year Steve has been progressing with the restoration of the guards area within HKB836.
Both doors to the guards compartment were removed and will be restored separately and reapplied once this area is finished.
After consulting master car builder Dave, we decided to use the original NSWGR “Manila” colour on the ceiling.
Many coats of “Buff” paint will need to be applied to restore these well worn surfaces.
Todd assists Steve with the mammoth job in the guards compartment.
Slowly this much neglected brake van begins to look like it once did in the days of the NSWGR. Further updates will be provided on this blog in the coming months.
