Last night although not included in the previous entry I gave the sector plate a coat of paint along with the track sections leading to it. As a test I plan to paint these track section rails with humbrol "steel" add some chairs and then ballast. But Ill see what that looks like before sharing pictures !

Position 1

Position 2

This next picture gives an indication of the available room for the scenic section in front of the sector plate

Tonight, despite planning a trip to the shed I found myself resident at the dinning room table due to it being a bit chilly in the shed !

Some more painting, replacement door hand rails, extra tools and bits in the cab, a storage box on the side of the loco

Box construction pre painting with my favourite "sleeper grime"

In place

My 16 year old was sharing the table doing her art homework, so she got the job of painting the oil can, chain and water can

For those not familiar with how big this stuff is

I Still have things to do to it but Im pretty happy so far, its a lot of loco for a little money !
