45. Getting on with it

 A few more steps along the way.

On Johnson’s Wharf, having  identified, designed and started a trans-shipment shed based on one I'm familiar with from Bank Hall in Liverpool, I got the baseboard out of its box to do a fit check with my old Hornby Dublo Class 20. I think it's a tad too high, which is easy enough to sort.




The Type 2 is about as old as I am, and is too much of a treasure to update, so she’s getting a clean and service for occasional use.





There’s been a fair amount of wagon building going on too, I don’t need many wagons, but I do enjoy making wagons, so I’ve a brace of Chivers kits underway, all opens. Chivers kits are so easy to make up, they just fit together well and look terrific.
