....... the new project gathers pace.
We are on the last stages now with TSO 5023. Richard black glosses the door handles and stops, and tops of the droplights on the Cotswold side, the Malvern side having already been done.
With both battery boxes repainted in black MIO,
David undercoats the locks in white.
The two toilet compartments are also coming along well with Pam adding further cream top coat on the painted wall sections. A start was made with silver hammerite on the ventilation grills and other parts that had formerly been painted with this.
Not forgetting the vestibule skirting boards with a fresh coat of gloss black. Both south and central vestibules have been done by Richard, leaving just the north one to be completed by me.
Various bits from the toilet compartments in the process of being repainted or revarnished as appropriate by Keith.
Keith, having done all the above, now top coats more bits for the Queen Mary brake van.
On to RMB 1876 where Ainsley sands the three banded lower line on the Cotswold side, all traces of which must be completely removed.
Next on to some areas previously dug out by George on Saturday. These were cleaned up and coated in red oxide, ready for filling with fibre paste as they are on the rivet line.
Yet another socket light being prepared by Phil for the vestibules in 1876.
On the weed spraying wagon Maurice had progressed to the north end headstock in the lengthy clean up job he has taken on.
The garden railway project is now really taking off. Paul sands what will be part of a seat.
Meanwhile Robert and Chris have now cut 150 wood pieces that will be part of the structure.
Various support sections that Paul has coated with Cresolve.
Phil brought in a lovely model of "Dinmore Manor".
While at the end of the day Robert was running a small GW Prairie complete with sound effects, which were very realistic.
Back to full size engines with "Foremarke Hall" and 2807.
