On the inside

In recent months Steve has continued to work on the guards vestibule area inside the HKB.IMG00030-20101009-1604

Work is now at an advanced stage with only a few minor touch ups required.IMG00031-20101009-1604

The interior surfaces were sanded back and primed before being repainted into the original NSWGR colours.IMG00032-20101009-1604

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”. IMG00035-20101009-1605

The missing hand brake wheel was replaced and mounted onto the mechanism. The surround box that was missing was also replaced.IMG00034-20101009-1605

We have now commenced painting the exterior. More updates soon.
