Worklist: Progress bridge extension, paint the new track, start forming trackside ground levels.

Stephen was disappointed with the coping stones he'd produced the previous week and decided to remake them. Happy with the new pieces, the plywood bridge parts were glued in place.

The new Slaters coursed stonework was then assessed, but no exact 'match-up' was possible, so the walling was laid in a few strips. Some cutting and carving of stones might be possible to reduce the look of the joint; if not, option 2 is a pier and option three is rambling foliage.

Meanwhile, Geoff mixed some paint and worked his way over all of the new trackwork.

The short siding.

The long siding board, still on the rack.

He then cut up some rigid insulation and started to infill the trackside areas.

The area is coming together nicely. Ballasting next week?
