Has someone nicked the rest of the seating - standing room only?

As the folk behind the temporary reinstatement of the Quad Arts as the 'Potters Barbarian' might have said:
"We don't need no stinking seats where we going".
I have not long past had a quick look at the sole preserved Quad at Sheringham, last seen when I was a slender 'near teen*' circa 1966, and the compartments were way smaller than my recollection!

*In my youth you weren't allowed to be a teen until you actually turned thirteen. Was this a general rule?

Disaster struck the brake 3rd part of the twin whilst being stripped down.
The works manager and chief forman imps have been shot

'Twas but a simple misunderstanding.

You said "Brake coach".

They heard "Break coach"...

[Dave]

very good.

[Dave]

Been away for a few days so not much has happened.

Stepboards added and first coat of black to underframe.
Stepboards are 20thou black plastic painted black with 30 x 30 Evergreen strip cut into small
sections and stuck to the top of the board to space the board evenly from the top flange of the solebar.
They were painted teak colour before fixing in place and are invisible at normal viewing, you can make
them out in the photo.

[Atlantic 3279]

Have those bogies got the right wheelbase, sideframe depth, rivets, axleboxes, swing beams and bolsters?

I doubt that any of mine have, other than by sheer fluke! But there's a handy article in LNER Society Journal No 97 if you need to check...

[Dave]

I think they are correct.
Thanks for the heads up on the LNER Soc article I will check it out
