Rolling stock was being cared of too. The amount of work to do is so important that it was soon needed to use extra-hand in hope to save time.
La baladeuse de Pithiviers a été levée pour retirer ses bogies dont les essieux vont être repris au tour. Cette opération a pris du retard suite à une panne électrique du tour à essieux. Posée sur lorries, la voiture a vu ses extrémités repeintes en vue de modifier la disposition des bancs. Ces travaux ont été en partie effectués par des membres de l'AMTP, venus participer à nos chantiers.
The passenger carriage from Pithiviers has been lifted to withdraw its bogies for the axles to be rechaped on the lathe. This operation got late because of an electrical failure on the lathe. Down on lorries, the carriage had its ends painted in preparation of seats alteration. Some of these operations were performed by membres of the AMTP society, they came here specially to attend this work session.

Fortunately, this machine has been modified to allow removal of the steel sheets without having to dismantle the whole cabin, a precious time saver ! All accessible zones have been brushed off for visual inspection and a campaign of ultrasonic thickness measurement.
