Worklist: 
Fit rail posts to sleeper wall.
Apply coloured plaster to trackside areas.
Trim down/reshape plywood upstand along front of layout.
Apply insulation foam to station board area and apply newspaper strip/PVA surface.
Start extension to sleeper wall.
Fit sleepers to end of siding and fit sub-lengths of rail.





The electrified siding ends at the board joint. The buffers will be installed on the adjacent track section. The lugs on the Peco track that holds the rails was removed from the sleepers without rails, which required the holes under the lugs to be filled.


The road and wall extension needs to be decided. The area behind the coaling stage is still being discussed. Stephen suggested a garage with road access, while Geoff suggested an area to store some of the farm machinery that we have lying in stock boxes.


Once the 'paper-mache' has dried, it will be coated with plaster. Note the short sleeper wall extension.


The storage rack with the three extended boards in place. They stick out a little, but the ripstop curtain still functions normally.
