The UK is experiencing the coldest spell of winter weather since 1963 - 47 years ago and a year when RTW335 was still in service on the streets of London!Despite the cold weather our two guys dedicated to the restoration of the RTW continue to make good progress. This week the brackets securing the upper deck structure onto the lower deck have been cleaned up and painted if they are in good condition - or new ones made to replace those that were corroded. The upper deck floor panels have been lifted to reveal the lower deck roof structure which is in good condition, but needs a coat of protective paint before it gets hidden again. The nearside panelling has also now been stripped to the basic frame.
The floor will be replaced as part of the next phase of work and this represents a milestone in the project with the upper deck moving from dismantling to re-assembly stage - not bad progress after just 5 weeks in the workshop!
