Since lights were succesfully tested in operation on Nystrup Gravel's Fowler F 30 work has progressed at minimum speed. Brackets for lamps have been fitted and holes for wires drilled in cab front and rear. A new air brush has arrived, which will come in handy as the old one was beginning to cause trouble.

| Plasticard glazing for the cab front. I'm always labelling parts like these as they look very similar, but are actually made to fit their particular window openening. |
Glazing for the front windows are ready but awaits repainting of the upper body before being glued in place. As usual the glazing is simply transparent plasticard cut a little over size.
Shortly after coming home from Budapest the Easter holidays saw me spending time in the family cottage. Bringing the Fowler wasn't an option and to have a little something to build during evenings I brought the 1/10 scale braked skip. Assembly progressed swiftly and I'm about to fit wheels and axle boxes.

| The weather in Denmark during Easter wasn't good for outdoor modelling. Here frame and skip body rests are assembled. |
Hopefully my testing of the new airbrush will have given me enough confidence to take on the challenge of laying down a new matt green topcoat on the Fowler upper body. Then I can finally install the LEDs in the lamps and fix them to the cab to allow for fitting of the final details and weathering.
