Sheep car 5674 John Cole called me today to let me know that these shots of the sheep car are actually from session E, but still nice to see the work going on.

Work continues in the 'swamp' on sheep car 5674 as what looks like a door is constructed

The completed door is being mounted on the car

A nice view of the side of the car as the crew works on restoring it

A view looking across the inside shows the upper deck of the cars 2 tier construction

Sometimes it takes a little brute force to get the parts to go where you want them. Click on the picture to see full frame.
