The North Norfolk Railway’s Carriage and Wagon (C&W) team has started an intensive programme of coach repainting and revarnishing to help make up some of the ground lost as a result of Covid-19 lockdowns, restricted working and the intensive use of compartment stock over the past 18 months.
Approach
The railway’s answer is a targeted programme to ‘refresh’ the paintwork on no fewer than 14 vehicles which will hold the fort until vehicles undergoing more in-depth repairs return to traffic.
The plan has been dubbed ‘operation conveyor belt’ and it will see the 14 vehicles receiving a light rub down and revarnish, or a single coat of paint and varnish in order to keep them looking presentable.
