A jumbled-up fortnight: The 3rd of May photos were lost and it wasn't deemed worth writing up the session. Then we on the 10th May, Sheila and Laurence came to see the layout, after which we retired to a riverside pub for lunch.
In honour of Sheila's first viewing of the layout (!), Geoff and Stephen had set up all 6 boards, which amazingly provided them with previously unseen views of the layouts current status. The boards all seemed to follow on from each other nicely, both in colour/texture and features. The engine shed location wasn't 'miles away' from the station and didn't look odd.
3rd May work:
Stephen had unearthed an unopened packet of Peco flexible fencing. This had been purchased from Charles Covey of Raynes Park, where Stephen was living during early days of Cottesmore. Geoff now assembled and planted the fence between the bridge and the quarry. It was far more difficult to build than we remembered, and a soldering iron was used rather than glue! It did the job in the end. Stephen cleaned up the loading dock corrugated roofing and copings.
