Create a worklist!
Do something on the list!!
Yes, that's what we did. Laurence made a list of outstanding items that all three came up with. It was quite a list and by no means exhaustive. And we thought we were doing so well.
Laurence chose to carry on with the new yard crane. The crane is being altered to include a (non-working) drive/rotating mechanism comprising a large gear base and a manually operated gear box. The crane is going into the main yard, with the legs mounted high up in the hillside.
Although there was quite a bit of flock on the layout already, this extra work really brought the layout along.
Stephen continued renovating the workshop building with the application of brick plastic sheet. Not his favourite wall covering as the standard English bond sheets can't cope with bonding on the corners. Brick quoins and render infill was considered, but the original building was solid brickwork, so the new one will be too.
At the end of the session, the water tower was assembled and a brief discussion took place regarding how the open tank could be covered. A number of options were discussed including timber and felt, sheet metal and timber baulks. The latter got the nod this week, but who knows what we'll end up with.
Another satisfying and productive day.
