First update of 2026!
While we are a bit late to the party and all that, there's been plenty of work going on behind the scenes, but we've waited until now to share this.
So let's begin firstly the inside frames have progressed well with more metal beams being measured, cut and bolted into place, few areas will need heating up and bending into position as the photos demonstrate.
Andy has been busy welding sections too, which always makes a good capture.
With the weather naturally becoming a pain, Matthew has resorted to the pod for any smaller painting tasks, any bigger jobs will have to wait until the temperatures and conditions improve.
Ollie and Martin have been busy measuring and trialling the heights of the axle boxes alongside other important measurements too, as our Jon Miles says measure twice, cut once.
This Temporary fitting is to make sure the horns are all aligned, this will help work out how much wear to take take out between the horn guides plus each box.
Next update coming in a weeks time.
AVR Wagon team.
Ollie, Andy, Martin and Matthew
