As can be seen in the two attached photos, Rob continues to make excellent progress with the restoration of NER Passenger Brake Van No. 131.
All the sheeting has now been fitted at the western end and we hope to have more frame repairs taking place tomorrow.

A quick follow-up on the work to restore NER 6-wheel Passenger Brake No. 131.
The past week has seen further sheeting and mouldings applied on the south side and at the western end - No. 131 is now really beginning to look very smart.
Hopefully this week will see some more frame repairs undertaken on the north side so that the application of sheeting and mouldings can also progress in that area.

A quick update on the progress with NER 6-wheel Passenger Brake No. 131.
The cutting and fastening of the exterior sheeting is making good progress with one side almost complete as can be seen in the attached photos.
The ends will be the next areas to be dealt with.
Fastening of the mouldings will commence shortly.

Today we completed the last of the external work on the 'Old Gentleman's Saloon' by varnishing the last batch mouldings on the north side of the vehicle which had been removed in order to fit replacement safety glass - photos attached.
Next weekend, we hope to move the vehicle into the trainshed so that contractors are able to fit a new carpet in the saloon.
