Mine has been drying in the workshop all night, and not dry....so out in the sun now.

Paroxatine 

ah, that explains a lot 

It feels like forever when it's drying.   

Looking good mate, and the 3rd rail is a great addition.  How did you attach it?

Good job!  Glad to see it dried eventually.  I love that third rail.  I might have to do some of that one day... it adds a real authentic touch for the EMU line.
