Cheddar P4 - Oct 2018 update

Work has moved this month onto the 4th board, which has seen the half chairs added, rails painted, ballast applied (correct type first time this time), rodding stool bases stuck on and one of the line side fences posts planted.
How to sum up in one sentence what actually took a few weeks to achieve! The rail half-chairs take ages. Painting another couple of days. I spent considerable time laying and tamping the ballast this time. The effect is much better. Pity it's taken until now to perfect. Hey-ho. Scenically, it'll have one market gardener's cottage on the down side and an awful lot of strawberry patches everywhere else!
I did have to get Clevedon ready for the Uckfield show which took up some modelling time. Oh, and I've got distracted with an old Triang SR bogie brake coach. But more of that later. In the meantime here's the current state of play. You can see the other two boards on their rails in the background amongst the detritus, though what the signal box mock up is doing in the middle of the road is beyond me!

Looking good. Nowt like doing your own track; I'm too lazy after doing my EM set up a few years
