The newly fabricated step section has been installed and work in the cab has continued with rubbing down the brown undercoat and recoating in places.  The floor strips for the cab entrance were derusted and painted, one new piece had to be made due to rot but the curved section was treated by trimming off the rotten 3/8″.    These were then fitted and primed.  The step was finished with a piece of chequer plate.

Much more painting has been done in the cab this week and it is getting close to being ready for topcoat.  The missing step section has been succesfully fabricated, and painted.  Some painting in the destination  box has started and some white gloss applied, not very succesfully.  White undercoat will be better.
