We continue with the assembly of the helical sides, made with 5 mm plywood reinforced with uprights. Then we carve the inspection and cleaning hatches on the sidewalls.

The final cover will be partially removable to allow cleaning and inspection of the tracks within the module.

We then shape the ribs that will be used as a reference for the covering and the hidden overhead line anchor points, installed where the height between the floors does not allow transit with raised pantographs.
