And I managed to get a fair bit done to the northern side during the day. Mostly cutting out rot, sanding back and painting but I didn't get to a finished stage that I could photograph. So I thought this time around I'd show a couple of before and after pics of work on the interior.
Then, before restoration |
These are two pics of the lining of the
carriage in the dining area. In the first pic some work has already been
done. Toplights nave been fabricated and installed, droplights
rebuilt and reglazed, rub-rails removed, refurbished and refitted, lining
below rub-rails replaced and straightened, window sills fabricated and the bulkhead on
the left build from scratch.
Now, restoration almost complete |
In
the second pic the main difference is a few coats of paint. The table
has also been made and installed and the seat relocated. This still
requires the excess paint scrapped off the windows and some sanding back
of some rather heavy-handed bogging up of holes where luggage racks
were attached but this is a dramatic improvement over the first pic,
don't you think?
