At long last the four rubbing rails are finally finished and wet fixed with very sticky mastic.  All 130 odd No 14 screws are done up tight and the rails are in primer. Isn't it funny how a job that you thought will only take a couple of says has taken nearly 2 mon ths of working parties to finish.

Things are really progressing.  We actually had to think hard about what our next jobs are.  Jim is now starting wortk on the doors.  We have both but one is in very poor condition so we are hoping to modify another very similar Milnes door that we have acquired.   I am going to start on final fettling of the roof structure now that it is in position to close up all the joints and tighten all the wedges after the move and refitting.

On other fronts enquiries are ongoing to procure the steel for the axles and we ahve found the right definition for the thread that the nut that holds the loose wheel tight needs, DIN 20400.  Real progress.  I just need to get my finger out and order the timber for the stairs now that we have the stringers.
