    The wooden framed wagon at Quorn would seem to be an ideal candidate for the Mountsorrel team to take on as they have a lot of wood working expertise. As the wagon has been moved slowly around Quorn, it should still be possible for a very slow move to Mountsorrel - if it could be agreed?

    I think the lift bridge is going to be the big challenge there for the coming months, so I doubt that anything could be arranged with the wagon at Quorn for a long time yet.
    The "loaned" Mountsorrel liveried wagons there need a lot of woodwork replaced and a repaint as well....

    Nice to see a Scarab painted in the grey livery - I don't think any of the other preserved ones carry that colour scheme.
    Just needs a matching box trailer now.........:)

    Blimey Matt - you're not hanging about! All I've managed so far is to put the tractor unit under a huge tarp...

    Ha ha, no worries Stu.
    I’m keen to not have it stood around as a frame for much longer.
    Plus I have other projects that require attention so the quicker I wrap this, the more use of it we have and the next project can begin.
