You might have been thinking it'd all gone rather quiet and that I wouldn't be putting any update this month.

Or you might think that I'd actually forgotten all about it.

One of the above statements is true but I'm not telling you which. Ahem...

I finally took the plunge and made a start on the single slip that gives access to the down yard and stone loading point. Over the course of the last week, I've been slowly making progress. I use a mixture of rivets and plastic chairs all on stained ply sleepers. Taking it a bit at a time I'm now just about there. There have been a couple of tweaks, and I'm still not 100% about one of the switch blades but it all seems to work and stuff goes through without falling off.

Had a bit of a result recently when someone kindly gave me a copy of a drawing of Cheddar station. I've never seen anything like it and it's certainly cleared up a few things, like how big the goods shed actually was. Mind you it also showed that the overbridge walls were curved and the Bryant's stone loading bank was much further to the south than was previously thought, but all in all it's a wonderful bit of info so thank you Mark!
