PONY TRUCK WORK, 25th JANUARY

January 26, 2023

Work on the cosmetic restoration of No.9 in the running shed at Douglas Station is progressing with attention currently being focused on the pony truck which has been removed from the frames and has been pressure washed ahead of preparing for painting.
