Quickie presents Westlife ft. Gratuitous Milk Van

The track bed for the back siding is now raised up and I've cut some foam board to fix the platform edging to. I think I might have overcooked it and made it a bit too high. What follows are a few pictures from different angles, some of which will be similar enough to those presented previously.

Above: A couple of views looking approximately south over the east end of the platform.

 

Below: Another view looking east similar to some of the photographs from the last entry. Apologies for the shakes.

The platform surface will actually sit on the lip in the top of the platform face/edge mouldings. I fixed the edging to the foam board with a glue gun. It was quick, convenient, and didn't seem to have any ill effect on either substrate. At the moment all the platform construction is removable.

 

What is that vehicle that I've used for gradient testing? It was what was being worked on at the bench; one of my longest standing works in progress. I make no apology for it being another milk van (I have some strange fascination with NPCS). This time an O13 from a Blacksmith (ex-Mallard) reduction. They were introduced in 1921 so would be almost brand new in service for my time period. There are a number of things still to do but that list is getting shorter.
