Reconditioning of our 23 continues to make progress

Between Christmas and New Year, a small group was able to replace the old floor in the driver’s cab, as it had rusted through. After that, the entire driver’s cab was painted in the new year. The upper part was painted in pebble grey (RAL 7032) and the lower part in black (RAL 9005). The completion of the driver’s cab is expected in the coming weeks. In addition, various components, such as drainage taps and a sludge valve, were refurbished in the workshop.
