Here you can see progress with the external restoration of motor brake Car 88 by Pullman specialists, Ramparts of Derby. New metal panels have been let in where necessary, including the inevitable rust trap under the windows. The vehicle is finished in green primer. The structural integrity of the vehicle is excellent. Underneath, all is sound too; the bogies await the fitment of traction motors.
