A warm clear day so outside work on a busy day with visitors during half term.
Another sweep up day with the falling leaves hopefully the last as the trees are now pretty bare.
Greg has been busy cutting the glass bowls to go om the gas lights, these are glass bowls off the internet as originals are unobtainable so some thinking cap work to be applied.
Ideal weather for sanding down the flaking and peeling paint where water had got in through small cracks on the Honeybourne signal box. A fine wood filler was used to get into the cracks as the coarse grain filler did not go in well.
Loads of scraping, sanding and filling of the 90 yea old wood. The putty has gone hard on the windows and again water is getting into the cracks so clean the over painted areas of the glass then use some thickened paint on a spatula to fill the gaps in the putty a lot of work and very little to take photos of.
Whilst working some Morgan owner came in for a visit along with a lotus 7 kit car.they parked up by the Scammel
