Again the port power was invaluable getting the wheel stations off. I have put up a couple of photo's of the other bogies I have. They are still quite good for their age.

I have now got both of the axle channels in place and some repair to the rear curved floor.

The floor of the other one is also off. it's not too bad to get off once the rivet tops have been ground down. I still need to grind lower than the flat surface as the rivet sits in a small counter sink hole. Hand chisels, Hammer and air chisel do the job. The side return roller will come off tomorrow as I need to make two of them as well.

They will both be ready for sand blasting next week, then the good part begins.
I won't replace the floors until they are blasted.

I have completed the hull repairs and they have had their trip to the blasters, back on my truck and now back in the workshop on stands, ready for the resto process.
