Yesterday our youngest railcar, no.37 (only 80 years old), did its final run before coming out of service for overhaul. At the same time our oldest railcar, no.33 (100 years old), left the workshop for the last time and moved over to our running shed. Still much to do, mainly testing, before she can re-enter service, but we have completed all we can do in the workshop. Things are slightly complicated by the fact that there is no overhead power into the workshop siding and the entrance to the workshop is too low to fit the railcars with complete pantographs, so the first job was to bring No.33 out and fit the pantographs for the final time. We then borrowed a diesel from the Roslagsbana (itself a veteren of 59 years and still in commercial service!) to move the railcars over the dead section and to move no.33 over to the running shed. Oh, and the track into our workshop is particularly poor so we didn't want to venture too far down it with the diesel, so used no.37 as a spacer to draw no.33 out, then pushed no.37 home by hand! Anyway, here are a few photos of todays activities ... <br />

Still plenty to do. There is not enough headroom in our workshop to add the pantographs and some of the roof equipment. This will have to wait until we take one of the active railcars out of service and remove its roof equipment, something we will not do until the end of the summer running season. Many other small tasks to complete, paint to touch up, details to add.<br />

The occasion was the visit of the inspector to start the process of re-certifying her for running on the public network of the Roslagsbana. All being well we should have her running again by the end of the year. All the best from Stockholm, George!<br />

The straps that originally held the reserve battery box in place had long ago disintigrated. To source replacements we went to a horse tack maker who produced two beautiful belts for us, not cheep but these should be good for the next 100 years or so!</div>

The seats against the middle partition have heaters under them. It was felt that, especially with the enclosed area behind the seat, this could lead to damage to the wall.<br />

Calle manufactured a replacement lid for the junction box on the converter, I then painted it up in blue hammerite.<br />

A striking colour to be sure, but that is what the original converter is painted under all that brake dust, honest! It will soon fade down with its own covering of brake dust. </div>

So that is all the seats fixed down for the final time! A large number of small jobs to finish, mainly touching up and fitting details. Elsewhere several of our group have painted out the graffiti on our goods/brake van as well as carried out a number of maintainance jobs on the running set ahead of this summers running. We had originally planned to swap this railcar for No.37, the next candidate for attention, at the end of this month and complete the commissioning of No.33 in our running shed. Unfortunatly the clearance in our workshop is insufficient to get a railcar in with the pantographs in place so No.37 would have to have those removed, effectivly removing it from traffic before No.33 was clear. We have therefore decided to wait until until after the summer running before doing this swap.<br />

Henrik has been manufacturing new seat supports for A-end saloon. This end had the hardboard walls replaced with original style tounge and groove at an early stage of the restoration. The seat supports were lost at this stage (they probably date from the 1940s rebuild anyway). The new supports are now in the paint-shop being brought up to gloss yellow to match the walls.</div>

A homework project. This is an old route map for the suburban services of the Roslagsbana that used to be in a frame in B-end cab. The frame had disintigrated and the maps are clearly water damaged. I am currently rebuilding the frame at home but must decide if we will reuse the better of these, or deploy an unused original that we have in our collection.<br />
<br />
That's all for this installment, all the best from Stockholm, George!<br />

I have continued to upgrade the finish in A-end cab. Originally this gap had been left in the partition between the drivers position and the rest of the cab. It probably resulted in either shrinkage over the last 99 years or so, or possibly crash damage. Either way, I decided to fill the fracture.<br />

In A-end saloon, the radiators are now all fixed in place and you can see the new triangular trim on the left-hand side that Henrik has been making. We bought in some trim but the size was wrong so Henrik has been making this from solid. Elsewhere, Mike has been fitting new insulation panels between various high voltage components in the electricals cabinets, Bengt has been installing glass in internal doors and we continue to touch-up, clean and reattach numerous details.<br />

Quite a wild night for my first venture down to Östra Station this year. Not much snow yet but blowin g a wee bit. While the standard gauge seemed to be sufferig a bit, the narrow gauge Roslagsbana appeared to be running without problems. Still, a good night to work inside. Here you can see the station throat of Stockholms Östra (east) Station, with our two sheds either side.<br />

And, as usual for a Tuesday, the warm welcoming glow from our workshop. You can see No33 lurking inside.<br />
<br />

The main focus right now is fitting and wiring in the radiators. Almost all are now in place in both saloons.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We have one seat sitting loose in place to show us where we are going with this. You can also see the earth wire, now correctly run in from the wall side of the radiator ...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The last pieces of trim are also being manufactured from new wood. You can see these, as yet unpainted, above. These fill the angle between the wall and the covers for te cable runs below.<br />
<br />
Elsewhere Mike was manufacturing something out of insulated material and Lasse was cleaning up a couple of additional wooden components. A-end cab was the first to be renovated. There are several aspects, especially regarding the paint, that contrast with our later work. I have started to bring everything up to a uniform standard.<br />
<br />
Wishing everyone an excellent new year from Stockhom, George!<br />

The current focus of activity is on fitting out the interior. All but one door has been hung and work is focused on door furnature, making sure everything swings or slides smoothly, and glazing. For what was a very basic 3rd class commuter railcar, there are still some nice ornate touches.</div>

We have also test fitted one radiator with all the associated blocks, channels and spacers.<br />
<br />

<br />
The attachment point for the earth cable is at the other end of the radiator! We will need to cut back the new cables and drill a new hole at the other end of the cable channels.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Everything in place, gives an idea of how things will look. Trim to be added along the edge of the cable channels that run along the base of the walls, you can see the new wood on top. The blocks on which the seats sit date from before our restoration at this end. In the other saloon they are missing and we will have to make new.<br />

Our running fleet continues to operate satisfactorly. Both railcars, carriage 880 and the f-class van were out on public service several weekends during the summer. We then teamed up once more with the historic steamer Blidosund to provide a vintage round-trip with 35, below, providing the first leg, after which passengers transferred to a vintage bus before returning to Stockholm on Blidosund while eating dinner. Once more I beleive these were well patronised trips so hopefully this arrangement will continue.</div>

35 seems to have survived the year with minimum problems, not bad for a railcar over 80 years old!<br />

Despite being our youngest railcar, only 79 years old, 37 has the oldest electrics. Both 33 and 35 were rebuilt in the 40s when the line voltage was upped from 7500 to 1500volts. 37 was new-built when this process was started and was built duel voltage, a capacity it still has but which can cause some problems.<br />

One of the jobs carried out on 37 was to replace the emergancy lights. I don't think these have ever worked under our stewardship. They sit behind the panels over the sliding doors (you can see the slider at the bottom of the recess). Originally they were connected to the rest of the carriage by the brass contacts on the left. You can see the new wires coming in along the roof panel on the right and appearing around the right-hand piller. We have left enough slack in the wires so the contacts are not necessary, and new LED emergancy lights are now fitted.<br />

Our parent organisation has lost its home in the 1950s bus depot at the east end of Södermalm. Unfortnatly their noew home is not yet started so the collection has gone into store out at Bromma airport. They closed at the end of October and had to vacate the site by the end of November when the delevopers moved in. We had a number of large electrical spares stored in a service tunnel under the museum so 4 of us spent an evening helping the museum staff out by moving them up to where they could be collected and moved to the new storage. as you can see, clearance was a little limited!<br />

We also rescued the original 1950s clock from the depot! Lasse fettled it up and we discovered the bolt holes on the clock lined up perfectly with a pair of bolts set in the wall of our workshop! We think they originally carried the water supply from when this was a steam shed. Some careful measurement to make sure we could still get No.33 out, then up it went!<br />

A gentle prod from Pete Briddon (see links) reminded me that it has been over a year since I last updated this blog! Thanks Pete! All the usual excuses, a 14 month old child, a 109 year old ship and, of course, work on our 99 year old railcar. So, what have we been up to in the last 12 months?</div>

I moved on to the ceiling in B-end saloon, the last major area of the interior to require painting. Note also that we have covered in old floorboards with a skin of hardboard in order to provide a clean and level surface to apply the lino.</div>

Once I had finished throwing paint around, we refitted the luggage racks that Micke had been cleaning up and painting on the other side of the tracks. This did require a little routing of the trim I had fitted between the wall and the ceiling. The wall boards are new in this renovation, replacing 50s hardboard (as seen in B-end saloon) while the ceiling is original with hardboard removed. Trying to line up the new trim with the surviving trim in B- end and the drivers compartments ment the luggage racks didn't line up with the 50s vintage holes, something I didn't spot at the time. Easiest solution was to rout out a recess in the new trim</div>

In order to both expedeite process as well as ensure a top quality job, we brought in an outside contractor to lay the lino throughout the railcar. The results are well worth the expense. We are now under strict instruction to only step on the protective paper from now on! Henrik is refitting the last of the light fittings.<br />

About those distractions. I am also involved in the group that maintains and operates <a href="http://constantia.se/">Constantia</a>, a 109 year old Danish built schooner based in Stockholm. Last winter saw the ship in dry dock for an extended period while we replaced a number of planks in the hull as well as renewed all the bulwarks. We also re-caulked many of the seams, renovated the foremast and many of the blocks, had the propellor built-up with new bronze and machined back to size, and generally repainted and fettled the ship. Here she is under full sail doing approx. 11 knots during her first run out of the year in the outer Stockholm archipelago.<br />

Myself at the helm, one of our regular captains looking on. All the crew are professionally qualified and we even get paid to sail her when we are doing charter or kids sail training trips. Not much but pays for the days we sail for ourselves! Note the T-shirt supporting another heritage sgip still in active service, the <a href="http://skyeferry.co.uk/">Glenelg Ferry</a>, the worlds last turntable ferry<br />

I arrived last Tuesday evening to find No.37, our youngest railcar (1938) ticking over outside the railcar shed <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
One of the heating circuits had developed a fault, the tracing of which involved leaving the railcar outside with one circuit powered for a while and then seeing what worked and what didn't! Here a modern service train passes.<br />

In front of No.35, Micke was painting the luggage racks for No33, a local band (ABBA) playing on the stereo.<br />

Back over on the other side of the mainline, Bengt and Lasse were busy adding a final layer of varnish to No33 while I was adding another layer of paint to the saloon ceiling <br />
<br />

November and December are normally the grey months in Stockholm so, for me at any rate, the arrival of snow this week has been very welcome! It has been snowing gently for almost a week now, not much, but enough to cover everything and make it sparkle. <br />
<br />

Anyway, back to No.33. After a month away due to the rather dramatic arrival of our first child, it was good to get back on with this project. Unfortunatly no-one had finished painting the ceiling while I was gone, so it was back to that task. The first top-coat had gone on a bit rough - end of an old can of paint, so a good rub down and the first half up to second top-coat. I think one more and this will be declared finished. <br />

More fittings continue to be added to the exterior, the various protectors for the brake column at B-end as well as the gate on the end door are recent additions. Valves and airbrake pipes (2 at each end) have also made an appearance.<br />

Hopefully this post should herald somewhat more frequent posts on the progress with No.33, especially as our sailing ship is in dry dock for some fairly extensive timber replacement this winter, that's her at the end, beyond Sunbeam, an old Lowestoft trawler, so she will prvide less of a distraction for a while!<br />

Every weekend in July, we ran specials in association with the steam ship Blidösund: <a href="http://www.blidosundsbolaget.se/en/">http://www.blidosundsbolaget.se/en/</a><br />
<br />
We provided vintage transport from Stockholm Östra up to Lindholmen using No.35 <br />

Passengers then boarded Blidösund, which would convey them gently back to Stockholm serving them a classic Swedish dinner along the way. All in all this proved very popular and I believe was fully booked for every run. Hopefully something we can repeat in the future! <br />

Built in 1911 in Göteborg for traffic between Stockholm and Blidö in the Stockholm Archipelago, she is in very good original condition, including her original steam plant. She is now owned by an association who preserve her by operating her for day cruises and charters in the Stockholm area.</div>

For me, a significant part of the summer was spent on another vintage transport project of mine, the 1908 built 2 masted schooner Constantia. This year we took her through the Göta Canal (she only just fits in the locks, with 10 cm to spare at each end!) for a summer on the west coast</div>

We took part in two traditional ship races, the first from Hobro in northern Denmark to Kragero in southern Norway via Göteborg in Sweden. We won the first stage in that race. We then took part in another race around the Danish island of Fyn, winning 4 of 5 stages and therefore the race as a whole!</div>

Back on the Roslagsbana, our full operating set (one carriage, one full brake top-and tailed by
electric railcars) continued to operate every weekend in August with
our traditional summer public running. Here is the interior of our 1914
built carriage 880. A bit tired, and more or less as left commercia
service but still in reasonable condition.</div>

For the mechanical group, most of the work was keeping the set clean and maintained, and fixing the few problems as they came up. One report from the operating crew was that the jumper cable on 35 was a bit tight and difficult to operate. We dealt with that with a sanding disk on the angle grinder. </div>

Work continues on 33 within the workshop. I am now painting the final part of the interior, the ceiling of B-end saloon while Henrick is painting doors. Lasse and Bengt have commences giving the exterior a final rub-down. The double glazed windows had aquired a significant amount of grime between the two panes of glass so we have also been dismantelling, cleaning and reassembling those one at a time. Once painting is finished, the lino can go down on the floor and the interior can begin to come together.</div>

Lasse has fitted new brake hoses at both ends as well as the shut-off valves. (The blue line is the jumper cable for electic power to the heaters in the passenger carriages) </div>

Having re-fitted the hoses, he then charged the air system from our large compressor in order to blow the dust and dirt out of the brake system. It was good to see something regestering on the gauges for a change. We also took the chance to re-test the horn ...<br />

Our locomotive, No.54 continues to reside at the end of the siding. Unfortunatly a low priority as there are a scarcity of run-round loops on the modern Roslagsbana and having no passenger seats, it is deadweight in one direction when we run our usual push-pull set. One day however ...<br />

and one of those other distractions that have kept me busy ...<br />

The wagon, a representative of the hopper wagons used by the gas works but built on an ex-war department chassis, houses the compressor for the airbrakes. During restoration it was decided not to spoil the outline of the engine by mounting the pump on the locomotive itself.<br />

Both the big plus (in terms of conservation) and minus in terms of photography) is the large amount of covered accommodation that the railway has. They do open the works to visitors when they have personnel available, but not during our visit.<br />

The museum in the old goods shed is also worth a visit. A real gloryhole type of museum, short on interpretation but a huge amount of interesting material stuffed into the shed. they are very happy for you to poke around, handle most things and are always happy to answer questions.<br />

The width of the viaduct betrays the lines origins. The Standard gauge dimensions of the line means there is plenty of room for a lineside footpath, great for photography and just watching the trains go by.SRJ No.33http://www.blogger.com/profile/02836416459702710242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592315927304095758.post-10499651688912598602016-03-15T22:10:00.000+01:002016-03-15T22:10:54.301+01:00More paint, visitors and light modifications<br />

It was however nice and warm in our shed. The flooring guys had got as far as B-end cab, but when they lifted the old flooring they found the boards underneath in pretty poor condition in the centre, so the decision was made to replace them. You can see how the floor is constructed here, with a double skin of boards filled with what looks like it was sawdust as insulation in between.</div>

This evening we cleaned and decorated the operating set for our traditional pre-Christmas Luciatåg. Micke starting up No.37. The pantographs are pneumatic, so once the compressed air has leaked off, we need to hold them against the overhead line until the compressor recharges the system.<br />

An odd problem has occurred on the east wall (only) of the passenger saloon. These odd paint "growths" have appeared along the joins in the tongue and groove. I suspect that what happened was as follows. Shortly after I painted this wall we replaced the teak paneling on the outside of this side (only) with new. As we attached each panel, we treated the inside with linseed oil and turpentine to help preserve it. I suspect, as the turps evaporated off, some of the fumes escaped through the joins into the passenger saloon and re-mobilised one of the still-soft paint into these odd carbuncles. No problem to deal with, just a couple of careful swipes with a razor blade and problem solved!<br />

Finally! An update!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Sorry for the lack of updates, this does not reflect a lack of progress, just many things going on (mainly good!). Progress continues at Stockholm Östra every Tuesday evening. Our teak carriage, 880, lives outside and, particularly the west side, takes the brunt of the weather. Plans for covered accommodation are well advanced, but until they come to fruition, we do our best to preserve what is there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As soon as it is undercover, it will be scraped back and re-varnished properly. Until then we feed the side with a mix of linseed oil and turpentine before every winter. Somewhat conversely, this has the effect of making the carriage look worse, as it forces all the black rotted wood out from between the grain of the good wood onto the surface, but beneath, it keeps the rest of the wood good until the day we can address it properly<br />

Bengt and Lasse have finished recovering the floor in A-saloon with new hardboard and have started stripping back B-saloon to bare floorboards before doing the same there. Elsewhere the other Lasse continues to chip and paint the underframe, Soren and Daniel were working on our passanger-rated goods/brakevan, and Micke was running around doing several things. There was othre activity going on, but I didn't get a chance to run around and check up on everyone so I'm not completely sure what was going on!<br />

And those other distractions? One of them was Constantia, the 108 year old schooner I am involved with. The first weekend in October is the annual Saltkråken Race in which many of the Stockholm area traditional sailing ships take part. <br />

This year we had 9 ships averaging 88 years in age. We also had virtually no wind, so it was a pretty slow race! Here you can see 3 ships that all started their lives as North Sea Fishing ships just before WW1, but from different countries. Shamrock (left) was built in Holland while Sunbeam (centre) is a Lowestoft Trawler from England and Ariel (left) was built in Norway. After the fishing industry went over entirely to steam in the 1930s, all three came to Sweden and continued to work as fishing or small cargo vessels long enough to be preserved. All three have had their sailing rig restored to near original condition although have all gained various deck-houses and have had the holds converted for accommodation.</div>

Inside, Lasse C and Bengt have begun laying a hardboard skin on top of the old floorboards as a precurser to laying new lino. If you look closely you can see the pencil marks that they are using to show where the joints in the floorboards are, i.e. where not to nail down the hardboard!</div>

Lasse has been working on the monitor/regulator for the dry air machine we are installing in 880, our 1914 built carriage. He had it nicely set up at home, calibrated to 3 other devices. By the time he got it back to the shed it was way off again ... My suggestion of dipping it in boiling water to set the 100% level was not so well received.<br />

Originally there was a sliding door built into the partition between the two passenger saloons. The black you can see is the remains of the rubber strip against which the door closed. The door was removed in the 1940s rebuild and the gaps around the frames filled with teak strips. During our restoration, we removed the hardboard skin (also added in the 40s) from A-end saloon to reveal the original tongue and groove that you can see. This also moved the corner trim back approx 3mm and the infill strip no-longer fitted. Bengt took about ½ hour to fix this.<br />

The rebuild of Stockholm Östra continues. The works had started to encroach on our stored spare wheelsets, indeed one had been knocked off the rails! We therefore persuaded one of the guys with a front loader to lift the wheelsets out of their way onto a number of pallets outside our workshop.</div>

Elsewhere activity on a number of fronts including fixing of footsteps, much chipping and painting of the underframe, the last curved ceiling strip fixed in place and addition of more filler and primer elsewhere on the ceiling of the passanger saloons. Best regards from Stockholm, George!</div>

I was filling the ceiling of B-end saloon, the one that is being restored to 1940s condition at the time of the railcars refit and upgrade to 1500v. The last piece of trim for A-end was also being bent to shape this evening and the latest rub-down of A-end saloon ceiling was pushed a little further (until the blood completely ran out of my arms!)<br />

Finally, a view of the rather unusual bogies that this railcar has, with the main frame being below the axles. I think this design was used to reduce the height of the bogie.</div>
