Renovation of HKR coach

In the middle of March the sanding and priming of the third class benches continued. Unattached legs of the benches were sanded and primed with the new yellow primer. The finnishing work of the benches continued by filling, sandin and priming the benches with the new yellow primer. The thrid class benches will be grained like interior walls of the third class, but with more yellow tone.

 

In the weekend a work started to renovate one of the outsid edoors. The door was found to be all righ condition, except the lowest piece of wood that was completly rotten. A new piece of wood was made of a large piece of birch wood. On Sunday also the secon outside door ws taken under work by starting to removet he old coats of paint.

 

Also the work on the down sliding windows continued. The original metal springs were assembled in the metal window boxes. The weight of the window will be on top of the spring when window is on its lower position. The window frames are in quite a bad condition after beeing sand blasted at least once and exposed to elements during the 30 years the carriage was on dispaly in a city park of Karkkila. Probably at least a prt of the windows requires replacing.
