Detail of the frame with cab removed. Note the cab behind the loco.

The bodyside before filling. Note that the rust around the window appertures has been treated and painted with oxide.

New windows and seals will be fitted.

A start is made on filling the uneven bodysides.

The loco with cab removed

The bulkhead joint has been cleaned and painted with red oxide paint. Water ingress had corroded the joint.

Filling the welds on the new patches in the bodyside. Lots of filling and sanding and filling and sanding..........

The other side of the loco similarly treated

The MW cables had been severed since before I bought the loco in 1999. They had been joined in a junction box that had rotted completely....

The cab is now on it's back to provide access to the rotten "floor". The level of corrosion can be seen in this shot
