Wednesday 20th March

Worklist:
Lighting.
Electrics.
Lorry.
Sticking stuff down.
Drapes.

We arrived to find a piece of shaped copper pipe hanging over the layout. Geoff had assembled some off-cuts to investigate the supports for lighting strips. A base plate and clip is all that's required to secure the poles. The pipe ends would have a pipe clip attached to a length of black guttering, holding the strips of LED lights. All agreed that it was our best option, which would be progressed in due course. The only question was should the lighting extend over the fiddleyard? TBA.



Laurence got comfortable and assembled the repainted lorry.


Geoff was making changes to the power supply unit which turned into a lot of work in the end.

Stephen continued to fix things down - cows mainly, but also some more bags of coke (after painting the pallets), and the telephone box.




He then completed the new plugs/sockets bases ready to fix next to the existing loom sockets.


Stephen showed his latest 'bit of fun', a shed made for a joke at his bowls club.


With a second life in mind, it was made to 1:43, and secured to the base with a magnet. Remove the banner and install a window - the tool shed might just become the ticket office?


The final topic for discussion was drapes. Back in the old days, when smoking was allowed in exhibitions, fire retardant material was essential. Assuming it still to be a good idea, Stephen's wife had sourced some black fire-retardant material, which she will make-up into drapes. These will be secured with Velcro strips.
