And then there was mud..

It was time to get back on with progressing Mablethorpe and so the paint pots came out to paint the fields a nice healthy brown and finish off the station car park and goods shed hardstanding.

I must admit when the paint was wet it didnt look all that good..

'Level Crossing' - High St, Mablethorpe and fields above.

North of the Yard

After not being very impressed with how the paint went down, I stepped away for a few hours to come back and it looking ok, almost field like.

 

 

There is one area that will need looking at, the turntable that should be sat on the end of the spur siding above. This was replaced in 1952 for a new structure brought from Doncaster so the original at the time of my era will have been a smaller turntable (and not much use for large engines) so will have to be on the lookout for one of those.

For research and a good walk, I had a look at the remains of Mablethorpe turntable

Remains of turntable wall, only back wall remains

Rail holders for accessing turntable. Once had Black 5s and B1s rolling on and off
