Finished painting stone work for the arches, based on those that were at Tyne Dock. Coping stones next. Most of this will be hidden by foreground track on an embankment

Here is a mock up of some of the back scene. When complete, this will be mostly hidden by the staiths. The ship is the Cliff Quay, one I am familiar with

Sheriff primed and removing blemishes. Blue or green. Fleetwood Shaw told me Tindale & Alice were green and Stephenson black, however Dandie Dinmont was blue, so pay your money and take your pick

Axle springs in place. Not a lot more to do, pipe work and reversing rod etc. Pleased to say it is running well A little bedding in on the body will straighten the cab.

Footplate lowered and chimney in place. Still needs a little fettling to get body snug on footplate. Waiting for axle springs, but can be fitting hand rails.

First of all I have dystonia, which amongst other things causes a Parkinsonian tremor in my hands, this means I have to think a little more carefully ahead to allow for it. I cut the splashers with a compass cutter, I would have preferred to scored the plastic card with dividers, but this way is easier for me. The beading on top of the splashers is cut from 20 thou plastic sheet, form it round a paint brush and stick it on so it is just over width for the splasher. This was a to do and I have a bin full of failed attempts! Where it joins the footplate I just used some micro strip. I hope that is useful. As I say without the tremor I would probably done it differently
