Internal Partition

With the passenger door frames on compartments 4 and 3 repaired it was time to tackle the compartment partitions. These had been completely removed while in service, so we had a blank canvas! Each partition is made up of 14 separate T&G boards which fit into a channel in the floor and are fitted to the roof shape. The door board is shaped to the side wall. Fun. Work moves inside for some relief! So after 6 months clambering over a large pile of boards, we decided to put them to some good use and make some partitions. This is the middle (and longest) board of partition 4. The roof has been jacked up to ensure that the floor to ceiling height and wall to wall dimensions are correct.

One board down, 89 to go!
