Monday and TAFKATYS and Andrew N connected up the lights for Cwmcarno station. The lights will need to be toned/turned down.

Tuesday was a little destructive as Mr. C removed the troublesome track from the colliery sidings and will attempt to lay it for the third time.

On Friday a select three of us were present. The curve seems to have gone in well. Both sets of rail ends need to be soldered into alignment before testing. Wagonman started some ballasting. The mix was one found among our resources and suits the unloved end of a siding well.

Only a week to go until Scaleforum so minds are concentrated on getting groundwork showing some vestige of colour.

The halo is off-scene having its lighting tidied up.

With more ground work done its beginning to look more like a bit of the valleys.

Tuesday evening saw the installation of the lighting, a pair LED strips in different shades of white. The job needs to be tidied up but it’s a bright start.

A quiet Monday, and most work was camera shy, but several of us had recovered from Friday’s exertions to attend.

Seen in the image are series of fiddle yard cassettes where Rob F had fixed the ply lozenges in situ.

Elsewhere work continued on the scenics for Cwmcarno and Andrew J weathered some wagons.
