Upper Saloon Vestibule Fitted

A few weeks ago, I fitted both upper saloon stair vestibules and destination screens to the upper saloon. The wiring runs under the vestibule screen.

Wet Easter, so finished the trim on the lower saloon.

Upper and Lower Saloon

Chroming the brass parts

Chrome

The Lochee car like many from the 1930’s had chrome fittings. I purchased a kit to attempt home chroming of the various fittings. Some time was spent in trial and error but the final results seem ok.  Here are some parts after chroming. The process used a small electric wall power unit, hence the cable for the negative on the controller top plate.
