Well, both brake vans have reached the fitting out stage. The holes in the buffer beams have been opened out and the cast buffers fitted. Next to do is fit the handrails. Holes 0.3mm have been drilled for the handrails and the first four have been attached to one side. Having fitted the eight on the sides, there are four more to be attached from the buffer beam to the front of the guards veranda, the longitudinal rail will need fixing between the inner rails. This will be done by soldering . I did it that way on my first brake van, didn't damage that!The lower photo shows one of the most useful pieces
of equipment I have. Bill Bedfords Handrail Jig must be one of my favourite tools. All of the handrails and coupling wires are made on this . I ensures precise bends in wire and can be used to measure handrail lengths.
I have no other interest other than a satisfied customer-Highly Recommended.
