Floor and side planks

I haven't written anything here for a while.

Work on the wagon goes on but is pretty slow now.

The floor is fully planked now and the brake mechanisms fitted. Ollie moved the wagon from it's little track into the shed, where we're planking it and finishing it off.



Fitting the drop-doors was not so easy as I thought it would be, but it's done now and they work. Next we'll be preparing the end planks. They're cut to length ready to bolt to the end stanchions. They have to have chamferred ends to accommodate the corner plates, then we'll cut and fit the side planks and lastly the side doors.
