  Some behind the scenes earlier todays play time. Rare sight two passenger trains passing on what then was essentially a goods traffic line. Busy yard and cattle dock Another view of Cattle dock View through the goods shed, one wagon in there. Loving this project.

  Going through the Green Bible, we have:-- pretty much all the 2-4-0, 2-4-2 and 4-4-2 tanks - no splashers, with drivers inside side tanks J28 and J27- tiny Hunslets The 4-8-0T The Bandon 4-6-0T 2-4-0T and 4-4-0T St Mologa K1 2-6-0 And it is the same problem in the GNRI Blue Bible - four coupled tanks and that is it. Just so many splashers making re-gauging awkward.

  About two days work cutting out the windows. I cut the card out first, then applied the paint. The trusses are not really structural and remain quite flexible. I glued the two sections of the roof together first, which are made of two layers of 300 gsm card, before gluing the trusses in place. My tip for giving some structural strength to card or paper is to impregnate it with varnish.
