Tidy up, wagon nickname
Much progress has recently been made on stripping the vehicle prior to restoration, the rate of which will depend on fundraising for materials. Much of the steelwork, the wooden floor and much of the side/end/roof planking needs replacing, whilst tyres, vacuum cylinder, brakegear pins and bushes must be refurbished. A new stove and roof canvass will be essential.
