Work on E43172

Work is progressing well on brake coach No.E43172, whilst most of the recent posts have been on the carriage's guards compartment, this post looks at work taking place elsewhere on the carriage

A rotten piece cut out of the upper north end

Through in the woodshop, Michael D begins sanding down, repairing (where required), and varnishing some of the hardwood floorings out of the guard's compartment

Steve cuts out another piece of metal bodywork for replacement

This photo shows the area that had been cut out and its replacement sitting on the buffer
