A couple of shots from the tram depot today…

Below: Phil Anderson has been filling and rubbing the undercoat on 31 – gloss coats should go on tomorrow. As the deadline looms – next Thursday – the results will be available very soon for all to see… Remember, it will be for one weekend (four days) only – we then have to return it to the paintshop for Phil to carry on the preparation for the full repaint into 1924 livery…

Below: Meanwhile, John and Hugh have been commissioning Leeds 6. Easter had been busy so this work had been delayed until now. 6 made a test run this morning which identified a number of adjustments required. As I write this the guys are taking up some slack in the brakes and another test run should follow in the morning before 6 enters general traffic at the museum.
