Coal box and sign writing etc.

Build day 94

We were invited up to the Barnowl workshop this morning as Dave Moore had arrived to start the sign writing on Yarwood.   After the initial ear-bashing for having two portholes in the back cabin instead of the conventional one I was given a hug by Dave who asked a couple of questions and then immediately set about chalking in the layout for the signing. 

We returned in the afternoon, armed with the camera, for our usual progress visit.   Richard had progressed the back cabin, the coal box and step were made and fitted and we now have a door on the starboard cupboard in the back cabin.   And Dave had been busy...

 The first 'cut' is in white but two greens will be used to create the shading

 Port side done, at least first stage done
