25/04/2020 Continuing platform restoration


25/04/2020

All platforms now have their brick face paper attached. Fishplates arrived yesterday allowing me to re-lay the track and paint the rust and sleepers I shall mist a coat of black when the ballast dries out. 50mm masking tape stuck down where the platform will sit trimmed to the size of the platform footprint. This is a better way then ballasting with the platform in situ they don’t get stuck if they are needed to be removed at a later date. Ballast was laid this afternoon wetted and soaked in 50% PVA and water. I only used the cheapest from the pound shop it sets rock hard as my chisel will testify. That’s it for today
