A bit of everything.

Today saw a bit of everything with some progress on both the Scania 141H and the narrow gauge layout.

The Scania body shell is now in the WMD paint shop where parts are now primed or primed and top coated. Hopefully this will be completed over the next few days. Whilst most components were painted whilst fastened to a scrap wooden board using masking tape, the back and sides of the cab which had been already been glued together was taped to a large paintbrush so that all of it could be painted in one go. The paintbrush was then poked into the packaging of a 4 pack of Fanta (other similar beverages are available) to support it and let the cab dry in mid air.

On the 009 narrow gauge layout some work with mounting board has set the road out and the area of the pavement and adjoining plots for the properties. 

I also dug out the petrol pumps which came with the Dapol Service Station kit and started painting these up ready for the forecourt. 

Luckily the 00 gauge motorists will never see the £1.60 a litre that we pay currently and indeed would not even know what a litre was as they still live in a land of gallons where that sort of money would fill your tank!
