This weekend saw much progress on the lime wagon – the light was so poor I didn’t try to do any painting or weathering, with one small exception. I painted the sole bars of the lime wagon once I had finished them in an attempt to make photography easier. I am not sure that I succeeded though…..

I still need to trim back the roof lathes and make the retaining chains for the door catches but then fingers crossed it a coat of primer.

I found it quite therapeutic filing up all the details for the solebars – all were done holing the part in smooth jawed pliers while filing with a small emery board (the type that ladies use for their nails – I get packs of them for about 60p from Boyes Stores).
