In recent months Steve has continued to work on the guards vestibule area inside the HKB.![]()
Work is now at an advanced stage with only a few minor touch ups required.
The interior surfaces were sanded back and primed before being repainted into the original NSWGR colours.
One mistake often made by carriage restorers is the colour of ceilings in NSWGR cars. After some research (thanks Davo) we selected the colour “Manila”.
The missing hand brake wheel was replaced and mounted onto the mechanism. The surround box that was missing was also replaced.
We have now commenced painting the exterior. More updates soon.
