Workshop / bits and pieces
We hadn't met the previous week due to 'personal circumstances', and then Laurence had to put his 'Granddad-to-the-rescue' hat on just before he was due to leave. Anyway, Stephen and Geoff found something to do....
Geoff continued to assemble the internal parts of the workshop, starting with the new floor panel. When set, the drill was glued in place. Finally, the belt-drive pulleys were lined-up to suit the drill pulleys and the motor/motor platform, which will be fitted next week.
Stephen worked through a few small projects - reassembling items that had come apart and making the brazier flue/exhaust for the back of the building (where it probably won't ever be seen, by the public). A vulnerable timber fence post on the edge of the layout needed to be replaced/reinforced, and remedial work was started.
Rummaging in a box, Geoff had found three whitemetal, throw-over point levers and was determined to fit them in somewhere. Although 7mm, they were still quite large and he eventually decided to re-make the moving parts in brass. Having made them, the three points near the workshop were chosen and the method of fitting discussed. But what about the other points?
