Well despite having a staycation the other week, progress has been limited somewhat of late. Must be the weather. It certainly isn't the football...

A couple of jobs that have been floating around for a while have been done. I finally finished off the handrails for the R&H 165DE and duly applied a blast of ECC Blue. More painting required yet - it's way too clean but I'd like to have it finished before Scaleforum in Sept.

The weathered silver bullets have been subjected to the same replacement ladder trick as per the clean one. Assemblies shown below duly primed.

All turnouts for Clevedon have been finished and tie bars fitted a la Norman Solomon (copperclad with pins). These too have been primed though I ran out of grey hence the somewhat bright red. I'll spray these sleeper colour and paint the rails before I glue down and ballast. Oh, and I've painted the tops of the baseboards and finished all the leg stays too. Just got to fill all the slits in the copperclad track now (yawn). It all works electrically though.

OK so I have done a bit - it's just spread around!

and I won't mention the green Hymek acquired from Model Masters either...
