After two days at my new job, I have found some muscles that I forgot that I had as I have been wire brushing and needle gunning a carriage bogie (truck for Americans) to remove rust and other unnecessary bits.
This is pretty hard work for somebody who is no longer in the prime of their life, however it has been a satisfactory process in seeing something covered in rust becoming clean once again.
There is quite a bit of work that goes on during the week in the depot with the paid employees of Mainline Steam and my little bit all adds to the progress in getting the locos and carriages ready for mainline running.
