The revamp of coaches. The sides have been taken off and new finger guards along with the sides painted a lovely shade of blue, the foot rests will be black and there will be sign placed on each side.

The chassis has been checked over, any rust and flakes removed. Give an undercoat then a top coat for some super dupper stuff that stops rust. As you can see new seats have also been made with a different kind of foam that absorbs the clicky clack from the track.

The pictures are, clockwise. New paint colour, Vacuum chamber, brake actuator, the frame showing the positions the all the stuff, new seat in place, foam for the new seat, a coverered new seat and the boogies in the frame with the braking system operational.

 

The passenger cars are stacked by winching them on top of each other for ease and space saving. There is actually 4 cars in this stack one day a better picture is needed to show you how.
They all bare the names of females from one family. A mother and her daughters
Each passenger coach holds a maximum of 2 adults or 1 adult & 2 children or 3/4 children.
and here are the ladies all out having a brake and bearing check
Here the boys are washing the underside of Victoria after giving the braking system a check over after a squeak developed.
