New year, new developments: 16/01/15
Its been a while in the making, but they say good things come to those who wait. This latest blog post moves us into 2015, and with the dreaded Ch******s festivities out of the way for another year, it was time to crack on with 2599's restoration. Our night in Peachykeens but a faded memory, Paul and Gary met up on 16th January to sort out collecting plywood to replace 2599's floor trap now Gary had finished the required welding work for the support beams.
Initially Paul had planned on pulling up 1321's floor traps to investigate the source of the water buzzer problem, however after much to-ing and fro-ing to fetch the plywood for the RE, time was not on side, and with light slowly fading Gary set about replacing one of the foglights on 2599 instead with a replacement unit kindly sent over from Northern Ireland by Robert Nogues of the Ards Bus Preservation Group. The next task was for Gary and Robin to shave the plywood to the correct thickness and cut it down to fill the hole in 2599's floor, before new lino can be fitted.
