Good day's progress today over at John's. Pavilions finished apart from decoration around top of columns, finalised track bed cutting on end boards, and attached 'plinths' to balustrades - using 3.3mm ply sleeper strip, makes a surprisingly big improvement to their 'solidity'. Not done the coping yet, walnut stripwood not yet arrived. Also made a jig for consistent fitting of the corbels supporting the refuges - Mark has finalised the design and a trial run of 20 has been ordered from Shapeways.

Meanwhile John was making good headway on making the basis for the approaches to the viaduct proper, on which the pavilions sit. The photos show a provisional placing of all four pavilions at one end. The balustrades between the pavilions have 28 arches, and those between the inner pavilion and the first refuge have 21, compared to the 'standard' 19, so some 'cut-and-shut' work was necessary to make these.

No this isn't an early pre-production of the Hornby 5-BEL, but an old Wrenn Belle we happened to have handy.
