I have been unable to attach any photos to my blog for the past few days - hence the lack of any recent update. It appears to have reverted to the original attachment format so I shall take the opportunity to add some photos of the latest progress.

These photos show my chosen method of fixing the panels to the top surface of the pit walls using brass screws. I am pleased with the result.

Here are a few shots of the panels in position in relation to the shed building.

I now have just two panels to make in order to complete both ash disposal pits. Once all are in place I intend to solder a number of track rivits into the top surface at the board joints to give additional strength to the trackwork at these vunerable positions. P4 Track Company L1 Bridge Chairs and M1 Small Chairs will be used together with the rivits to fix the track onto the panels after which the brasswork will need to be painted.

Looking good Rob! Have you already made the cuts for the board joints or are you doing this in situ? Right this better be my last look for today with D Day rapidly aproaching for me! :-)
