Check out the latest restoration progress on the Drewry Twinsets RM121 as of March 2008 here. Progress as at March 2008 RM5 is slowly but surely beginning to resemble its former self. The framing at the rear of the cab is now in place and the majority of the roof has been attached. Work has come to a brief halt while we await an engineering report to ascertain the final requirements to get the railcar back in to mainline operation.

All that remains is the paperwork to be finished and inspection and test running. We are confident that this will be completed in time for the North Isaland Main Trunk Centennial celebrations in October this year.

Fitting of the wood framing on the front half of the car is now well underway and the rest of the roof ply will be fitted very soon. Progress as at June 2005 Bernard Watson and Graham Gordon have been busy lately installing the roof lining as can be seen in this photo. March 13 saw one of our best turnouts yet on a regular workday and as a result, a great deal of progress was achieved.
