- Here's the result - all the insulation is completed, with one of the father & son team posing proudly by their efforts.
- Yet there's no time to stop...attention is turned to the second loft space above the west-end of the Panel.
- The front entrance continues to progress, the latest addition being the rather smart reclaimed railway lamppost on the right...looks like yet more work for David and fellow electricians!
- In the same day as the insulation being completed, the plasterboard is up to complete the second loft space - fantastic work!
- Inside the Bristol East Panel room, the lamp body awaits its turn to be restored to working order.
- The Simulator Room as you've never seen it before! The walls are painted, the electrics tested, and the ceiling is up and plastered.
- Meanwhile, electrician David continues to finalise the wiring in the early signalling area, in readiness for fitments.
- A taste of what's to come: in one day, the suspended ceiling grid is fitted to the Swindon Panel room.
- From another angle, some ceiling tiles are already shown in final position - shows just how far we've all come.
- Now for some panoramic trickery! From a vantage point next to the window, the extent of the ceiling grid can be seen.
- They say the camera never lies...yet, don't worry, the ceiling grid isn't bowed! Another panoramic shot from behind the Panel, looking towards the Bristol East Panel room.
- The rest of the ceiling tiles remain carefully stored, as installing the lighting fitments will come first.
- Let there be light! (1) - GWS electrician David Brown test fits the first LED fitment to the Panel Room suspended ceiling.
- Let there be light! (2) - Stephen Lear admires the latest loft installation.
- The second loft space (above the east end of the panel) is similarly fitted, meaning both loft spaces are nearly completed - excellent work!
- The main row of lights, which will sit directly above the Panel frontage, are installed prior to moving the panel to its final position.
- In readiness for the move, equipment and materials in store behind the panel are moved forward...just a few trips up to the new loft then!
- The new roller shutter is installed behind the front doors, and is tested in situ.
