This is the best method, as I work away from home. 

I can normally collect my e-mail at least weekly:

Railcar Restorer for hire

With over thirteen years experience with preserved DMUs, I am available for hire on a labour only basis for your railcar needs.

I specialise in internal restoration, bodywork and painting, and will tackle anything from minor work to major restorations.

Whether your vehicles just need tidying up or rebuilt from asbestos stripped condition, your passengers could once again travel in the luxury of an ex-works condition interior.

Electrical Fault Finding / Other wiring work

I have tackled jobs from sorting out why bulbs won't light to complete rewires. 

Bodywork

Your set has to look good. As well as pleasing the passengers and the railway you keep it on, it is much more satisfying as a volunteer to work on something you a proud rather than embarrassed off. I have experience in steel bodypanel and framework replacement, re-sealing of windows and adjustment of doors.

Painting can be tailored to the customer’s requirements, from a quick temporary change of livery to a finish that will last for years. If you’ve painted a vehicle you will know the effort if requires, all the multiple coats and all that rubbing down. Why not let someone do it for you?

Do you have a big, long scale project that would put Barry locos to shame? Or do you want make an application to the Heritage Lottery Fund? I can help with the planning and paperwork involved, monitor the progress, with or without doing the actual restoration work.

Mechanical

I will only now do mechanical and other safety critiical work as part of major restorations.
