Wednesday 12th September

Worklist:
Caravan detailing
Lorry dissection
Flowers and paths
Water tower consideration

Just Geoff and Laurence this week and there was a ghostly silence in the workshop.....

Geoff finished detailing the rear end of his caravan, adding tail lights, indicators, reflectors, number plate and light. There is some lovely furniture in the caravan including a sumptuous armchair, but they are impossible to photograph!


Laurence was tasked with dismantling the yard lorry ready for repainting. It was not as easy as first expected, as the wheel/axle assemblies were directly over the rivets holding body to chassis. After failing to remove the wheels from the heavily knurled axles, the axles were cut-through. The metal castings were all removed from the plastic components ready to be stripped.


Geoff had purchased a pack of plants and flowers, which were applied all over the layout. The steps and path around the water tank above the gas holder were weathered and copious amounts of weeds applied which toned the area down nicely.





Finally, a detailed discussion took place about the comments made by Chris Holmes the previous week regarding the position of the water tower. However, it was decided to wait until all three group members were present, to make a decision.
