It's been over a year since I posted a blog to Collecting QR! Not that I haven't been doing anything but I have had some major changes in my life and work on Clarabelle has taken a back seat. So, let's bring it all up to date.<br />

Chester and I spent last Xmas and New Year in England and France so, when we returned in February, Clarabelle needed a good clean.<br />
<br />

Later in the year I rearranged the far end of the carriage in preparation of finishing off the lounge area and building the bulkhead that will separate the 2nd bedroom.</div>

While rearranging the end of the carriage, I exposed this section of wall where you can see the steel reinforcing installed by QR to stop the carriage body from wobbling. This will soon be panelled over.</div>

Next visit to the carriage I decided to investigate some rot in one corner of a droplight, seen here from both the inside and the outside. You can see daylight through that hole!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RfxMkr8NqQk/Wgp8RCX_CLI/AAAAAAAABHQ/vepDax-uruMJmRxIth5WrjVQvOrhfSHWACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RfxMkr8NqQk/Wgp8RCX_CLI/AAAAAAAABHQ/vepDax-uruMJmRxIth5WrjVQvOrhfSHWACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7051.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Chasing the rot into the framework revealed that it was more extensive than I imagined. This was not going to be a simple patch-up job!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Continuing work on the inside, I put up a replacement light fitting and scraped the old paint away from some of the ceiling mouldings. I hate working on the ceilings; a sore neck and covered in flecks of paint.</div>

Back to that rot problem. I had to cut back, clear out and square off the damage then fit a couple of pieces of Maranti to make good the damaged timbers. I took these home for final shaping.</div>

So far I've managed to fit the replacement lintel, surrounds around the toplight and replaced the toplight temporarily with a piece of 12mm ply, the whole lot liberally covered in 3-in-1 for protection.</div>

The replacement post proved more problematic so it's back home for some more adjusting before I can install that bit.</div>

The plan was to spend the night on Clarabelle but more impending storms put the kybosh on that idea. We did go out to Clarabelle to check on how she had weathered the previous storms and we managed to get a little bit of work done on her while we were there.<br />

The final support panel for the left side kitchen bench was finished and taken to Clarabelle where I had a bit of a play arranging the bits.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The end support panel completed at home ready for the trip out to Clarabelle. This is a laminated construction around a piece of 12mm ply with Silky Oak trim. On this side a piece of 18mm ply has been added below the height of the bench top thus providing a ledge for the bench top to sit on and a flush inner surface for the dishwasher compartment. This panel stands around 300mm above the bench top dividing the kitchen from where the potbelly stove will eventually go.</td></tr>

All the best for 2016 for viewers of Collecting QR! And let's start the year with something different: a video. This is how to make a panel for the kitchen area.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyrD9hgKW1MwDwSau-4jQxyCnN44enQKcQDTu6tXJlaq3XCbPd6_ae7mPkzs4AwnvTGdwST9FdyFlCwhPouVw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
And then, once all glued together, I took the panel out to Clarabelle and fitted it into place.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">You can see at the bottom that the panel is about 3mm too wide, to I took it home again and trimmed it.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Yesterday I was there for a couple of hours and managed to install the base and surrounds for the splash-back on the top of the divider between the dining area seat and the stove bench top. All silky oak and coming along nicely!<br />

First up it was a case of filling and undercoating all the beadings around the toplights that were fixed last week. Then I added new barge boards above. Originally these sat behind the luggage racks and provided some protection for the lining of the carriage from being knocked by whatever passengers put in the luggage rack. Some of the barge boards were removed when the luggage racks were salvaged after decommissioning in the early 1990s leaving a scar that is difficult (if not impossible!) to sand out. So I've chosen to replace them. <br />

Then there was the question of finishing the droplight surrounds. I've fixed the 2/3rds of the droplights that were not on doors and this was done by creating a new surround out of Tassie Oak.The working droplights on the doors leave gaps where the shutters used to be attached so these have been filled with Tassie Oak or other suitable timber and cleaned up with builder's bog. </div>

Once all was in place, filled and sanded, I had enough time to slap on a coat of King's Gold, the top coat for most of the interior. Chester obliged me by appearing in shot in the same place as the previous post but pulling a rather strange face!</div>

This is the best link I can find to a site offering a 1886 Queensland carriage for sale. Here is what the add says:<br />
<br />
"<br />
<div class="_5pbx userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">
Own a piece of Australian history – Rare 1886 Queensland Passenger Carriage in exceptional condition.<br />
Very solidly built with double roof with air gap so it is warm in
winter and cool in summer. All wood construction including the chassis
with gated platforms both ends - Completely rewired and fitted with
early 1900’s interior wall lights. Freshly painted inside – no water
leaks – LPG Bayonet fitting installed for gas heater – mostly original
including ceilings, walls, floor and platform gates - exterior left as
original that is how we like it but could easily be painted.<br />
Some
of the items shown in the photos will be included in the sale such as
the large table, suitcase racks, shelving and other bits and pieces.<br />
This carriage is my “Girl Shed” but very versatile as it could be a “Man Shed”, Office, Granny Flat, Accommodation etc.<br />
This carriage was built at Ipswich Queensland in 1886 specifically for
the Townsville Normanton line. However, there was no rail line linking
Brisbane (Ipswich) with Townsville so the carriage was sent to
Townsville by ship. It spent its entire working life around the
Normanton Region as a First and Second Class Carriage from 1886 to 1963
when it was converted to a Camp Wagon so this carriage has a lot of
history and it will only increase in value the older it gets. Even the
railway track supplied with the carriage is stamped 1886. This
information has been confirmed by the Ipswich Railway Museum in writing.<br />
As this is such a unique historical object it is very hard to value, so
we will consider offers over $50,000 and the cost of removal and
delivery to a new site is the responsibility of the purchaser.<br />
It
was delivered to our property on a low loader and placed in its present
position by a crane. It is approx. 13 metres in length and 2.4 wide.<br />
The Carriage is located near Dorrigo NSW Mid North Coast.<br />
More photos and specifications are available on request by emailing us at jadonoz@bigpond.com<br />

If only I had the cash, I wouldn't be telling you this! </div>

Once again, it's been a while since I posted but I've actually been out to Clarabelle twice since my last post.<br />
<br />
Having finished the ceiling in the kitchen (or more correctly, having my mate Steve finish the ceiling fro me!), time to peal back some of the drop sheets and start bringing the lining up to scratch.<br />
<br />

First up was a lot of sanding of bog that I'd put on years ago. <br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Looking to the northern side of the kitchen</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Once sanded it was time for an undercoat as well as some extra filling with an acrylic sealant to close up the last few gaps.<br />
<br />
<br />

That was all the weekend before last. This weekend I took away more of the drop sheets because I'd finished the sanding and so dust control is no longer an issue.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">That's Chester sitting in the dining area. This weekend I also rehung the picture because Pallave has finished varnishing that bulkhead.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I then had to cut the internal beadings for the inside of the toplights. These are 9mm quad and, at the moment, they are just sitting in place awaiting fixing next weekend.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">An example of the internal toplight beadings. Looking at this shot afterwards I realised that the two vertical lines at the bottom of the toplight are where water has run over the undercoat when it was still wet last week - so there are a couple more leaks to chase down and fix next week!</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>
