Metal work on 03079

Bodywork repairs on 03079 are progressing well, with multiple sections being cut out for replacement. This photo shows a section of the main body towards the cab that has been cut out

Michael W begins welding in the new plate

After the welds had been ground back, body filler is applied then sanded down

Michael D welding a support beam in the LHS cab, underneath the cab door, as shown below

Meanwhile, Steve has been busy cutting out more sections at the front of the loco

Large section successfully cut out, followed by a smaller section just above it (shown below after being cut out)


Same on the LHS

This is the same bit as above after it had been cleaned up of rust and treated with jenolite

Additionally, Carl has applied the first coat of yellow to the back of the cab
