Restoring the lights in 1930s carriages

Over the last year-or-so I’ve been working at the Stephenson Railway Museum, helping them get some old coaches back into use.

They were originally made in the 1940s so there’s a LOT of crusty bits under here!

Rewiring ready for many more years of use…

Lots of lovely copper in REALLY good condition for 70+ years of use!

Almost ready to travel again!

Never forget the tools…
