Lining out in progress at in the TR works, at Pendre.

(I do hope they are using proper gold leaf for this, as unlike at least one of the alternatives, the real stuff does not tarnish)

Not my image - fair use & comment

TR17 - Bye-bye !

Almost on the A69.
The waggon, still loaded with the coach, will stay - securely- overnight at Webster's yard before travelling to Wales tomorrow.

Still working on the various tie-downs, as there are several things to be moved, besides TR17 itself.

Note ; the central vestibule is not equipped with doors, those are on the compartments.

TR17 - strapping down

Application of load tie-down strops took a while. [mainly as it was about to be our tea-break time]

TR17 - loading the running board

Adding and squaring some additional blocks, plus loading the running board. The latter is to be attached after some work on the headstocks at Pendre.

TR17 - gently down (almost)

Just need to put in the supports and the operator can finish gently lowering TR17 onto the waggon.

Webster's HIAB is ready and waiting, once TR17 has been extracted from the workshop.
[the odd angle is to avoid the end of another carriage under restoration].

TR17 - needs a tow

About to tow TR17 out over the lip in the workshop doorway. The castors on the skates are just that little bit too small.
