This post is a bit in reverse order of what I’ve been up to in the last week with the latest first because it follows the previous post better.

The chance discovery of a part can of Halfords grey primer in the shed and yesterday’s cold, but dry and windless conditions, had me dig out my outdoor spray booth (aka a big cardboard box that sits on the dustbin) and prime the bolster wagons.

Now the replacement spring has all but disappeared into the background and I suspect if I don’t mention it casual observers will be none the wiser.
