Springs fitted to the truck base and wheels placed into the axil box - all they need now is a cover on the bottom of the axil box to stop the wheels falling out - but doing this without gluing the axils to the axil box so they still turn and the truck runs on the rails OR its glue it all solid and don't have the truck being movable  :-\ :-\ :-\

Stone blocks on the front of the dock marked with a scriber and the 2 top sections with the rails now glued in place. When dry and solid will prime and then pick out the blocks in different shades of grey

First job patch in between the plastic dock top and the plaster front of the dock - before some clown asks the bit on the right has been done - hohohhoho :P :P :P
