The stainless steel lips that we used to support the Kallax units on the walls did a stellar job. Scrubbed up almost like new, too, Both lower Kallax units removed and the corners scrubbed and bleached and scrubbed again. Off to IKEA Sur in the morning to collect the feet for the Kallax, then we get the big one off the wall, and then start slotting the Billy’s into place. Have a special parcel here from @murphaph that has been waiting for these units a long time!

One side well and truly scrubbed, one Kallax moved to a temporary home, apparently with the boss’s seal of approval, now onto the other side.
-
Looooooot of scrubbing to do before the Billy’s can slot into place!
-
Finished with seconds to spare.
-
Getting there but the clock is ticking. 45 minutes and I have to leave!

Wasn’t that easy to find. Was waiting a few years before Conforama had them on sale, but I had known what I wanted, and that somebody would eventually sell something similar. It’s lasted a surprisingly long time, must be at least seven or eight years on the go, now.

Thanks, @Rob. Time to get cracking (hopefully not literally) on the second 80cm Billy. Also, have to get to IKEA Sur to collect the feet for the Kallax at some stage.
-
Couldn’t resist picking one of these up, wrong bodywork or not, as they were so cheap.
-
I’d be more concerned about the buyer - probably getting a divorce for Christmas.

Or at least two big O Gauge diesels from Rails if Sheffield!

Finished at over a grand…

A couple of Murphy Models Cravens at €65 each: https://www.ebay.es/itm/315748905199 https://www.ebay.es/itm/315748960149 https://www.ebay.es/itm/116323888226

For now, we’ll brand this one a success. Second one will have to wait until tomorrow.
-
This one does appear to have worked out. Just a bit more assembly and then onto the second one.
-
Under the boss’s watchful eye...
-
Probably well worth the full price, but great to nab a bargain every now and then. -
So, while we have the two 40cm Billy’s stored for a rainy day, we might as well get cracking on assembling Tuesday’s two 80’s.

Check out these smashing looking beasts from Heljan, now reduced from £729 GBP and £749 GBP to only £395 GBP! See the FULL LIST HERE, at Rails of Sheffield. Would kill for a late BR blue model but can't budget for one at the moment.

Talk about being a glutton for punishment… Haven’t even assembled the two 80’s that I prepped yesterday, but I collected two 40’s today for the opposite wall, and the Hogbo doors for them, and extra shelves for the next six 80’s. Let’s see what tomorrow brings, today, being technical about it.
-
All cut and ready for assembly some day soon… And, speaking of BR Blue and RailFreight Grey:

That second-last photo, showing off the RailFreight and BR blue liveries, is savage!

The Kallax with doors will be donated to work. The open Kallax will move to the back wall, for the cats. The Billy’s will eventually get the full wall. These two, and two more if I can get my hands on any, will complete one wall.
-
I borrowed Drillasaurus from work, but he’s overheating just as badly as Drilly McMelterson was, last time. Drilling finished, wish I had another few hours but assembly will have to wait for another day. Might get some of the cutting done tonight, but not sure. The colony cats are waiting…
-
I’d forgotten just how tedious the measuring, marking and scoring was! All four panels are done on one side, now. Slowly working through the other side. Hope to get them at least drilled out tonight.
