\"PhilWork has continued apace on fitting the new kitchen in Great Eastern Railway Royal Saloon No. 5, with Phil taking a deep breath before cutting the all-important holes in the one of the worktops.<\/p>\n

\"JohnJohn Davis has been working in the guard\u2019s compartment, seen here fitting some veneer to replace that which had previously been water damaged.

As can be seen, it is a very long pipe with twist and turn! Keith was also delighted to find a spare \u2018Hall\u2019 class coupling rod for which a deal was done. It must be a \u2018fit\u2019 as it is actually marked \u20184979\u2019! Just need to get it back to Preston.<\/p>\n

\"JohnOutside, the recent better weather has allowed John Dixon and Ade to remove Caliban<\/em>\u2019s cab roof, which was definitely the worse for wear through rust.<\/p>\n

Finally, away from Preston, this next weekend sees Furness Railway No. 20\u2019s final steamings at Didcot Railway Centre before it moves on to the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway early in May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
