Nothing for the last two weeks as I've been on holiday... However much has been going on.  The day before I went away I picked up the last patterns from Gerald and took them to Derek Harper Ltd at Low Moor and got the handles for operating the bell rod and the brackets for the destination boards cast.  These were collected on Monday and taken to Middleton today.  Wheh I arrived the paintwork had really come on and the nice bit for me was the first coat of vermilion on the corner pillars.

They look rather appealing to me.  The brackets were drilled, countersunk and cleaned up then Jim spent the morning fitting them on the window pillars.

This is one of them on A side.   Mike spent the morning putting another coat of paint on the back of the first decency board and then in the afternoon most of the yellow top coat was applied.  I worked with Jim on the handrails and also got the D end dash panel marked and drilled for its supports.  I'd picked up the vertical rails for the gates behind the stairs yesterday so we spent the last few minutes looking at how these are going to be fitted.  All in all good progress.
