John Dadford the artist at work stenciling "B" on the buffer to mark that end of the coach and not "BEND" as it may seem from the chalk mark! August 2012

John at the "B" end. Looks very good and has been lifted with the interior still being finished off. Couplers are out for ultrasonic testing and will soon be replaced.

Brian Dadford has completed the metal particle testing and ultrasonic and dye penetration, so the coupling gear is fine and will be replaced.
