Apr-May Construction Update

A rear view of the site, from beyond the storeroom slab

The last two months have focused on a variety of building tasks, including replacing the roof, preparing and painting the interior, completing new footings across the front of the building which restored the floor to level, designing and pre-manufacturing the steel frame component for the layout gallery and the production of the tilt panels that will form the new storeroom. It has been a very busy period!

Our hard working volunteers have continued the renovation of the Main West model railway, which is almost ready for electrical connection and testing. Huge thanks to our volunteers for all their work so far.
