The first door covering has now been completed on the trailer car. The cab doors will be to this design but the rest will have a centre section of aluminium-covered Bondene.
All the wooden pieces have been machined out of solid wood and stained by hand.

What a difference! Just look at earlier photos of this cab - this is the driving position of trailer car E56171 just prior to fitting of the driver's seat.

The ceiling panels are now being fitted in the saloons of E56171. This is the inside of the first class saloon. Wall panelling is soon to transform this area.

The cab roof dome has now been put into the power car and work is progressing on assembling the cab fittings. Here the wiring is being put into the roof.

Inside the power car the partitions are assembled and in place. The lavatory pan is not in its correct place!
Work will now start to put in the body insulation before the roof and the body panels are added.
