A very warm day but Thursday and not Wednesday.  However more detailing work got done.  I spent most of the day putting the first step unit together and then trial fitting it to the stringers.  The first job was to make yet another drilling template, this time for the stringers.   Anyway after a couple of hours work and some head scratching the first until was assembled and screwed in to place.

You can see brass screws used for the temporary fix.  The real thing will use Black japanned ones. This trial assembly threw up a couple of minor issues with detailing that needed to be addressed so after dismantling the step I sorted those and then routed the upper edge of the roof nosing at B end. 

Jime spent the day fitting support boards for the window sills that go under the number boards and then started to round off the rest of the roof nosing.  Ian spent the day painting various suspension items that needed a coat of gloss and then scraping the underside of the canopy bends.  All small jobs but very neccessary.  Hopefully next week we will get the doors hung and the catenary rods fitted.
