Good evening all,
The Coaling tower is progressing nicely and I have now fitted the sides to the initial structure started earlier on in the week and have now cut out the middle section parts, assembled them and offered them into position on the tower. It looks pretty high now as the photos below will show. Also obtained this week was a copy of "Great Northern Engine Sheds - Volume 1" which is an excellent read with stock allocations, photos and also a 1956 trackplan. I am still lacking any info and photos on the water tower and there seems to be very few on the web available so I'll need to research this through books and magazine articles. The coaling stage shouldn't be too much of a problem as there are several photos that I have already found giving some good views of it.
There is a little bit of filler required to some of the joins to make it nice and smooth but everything seems to be going together quite nicely at the moment
Anyway, here's a selection of prgress shots.
With sides now fixed in place.
Middle section parts to be assembled....
......and assembled together
And offered into position with A4 waiting to be coaled up, again showing how high this structure is getting.
I hope to get the baseboard tops glued into position next weekend as my easitrac should be here in the next few days and I'd like to make a start on getting the bullhead track made up and onto the board.
Best regards,
Jeremy
