This view, taken on 12 December, shows RTW335 stripped further with all the corroded steel window pans removed. Although some specific parts removed can be re-used during the restoration the majority of panels and mouldings will be scrapped and replaced with new. With the exception of one window pan, which will be used as a template, all are others are severely corroded. It is planned to make a fibreglass mould from the good one and use this to make new units - but this is a way off yet!
