The body has been sprayed at last. There has been a disaster with the tender however. Having applied the first lining transfers; yellow HMRS, it became obvious that they were wider than required. In trying to remove them, I have destroyed the finish on one side of the tender. It might have to be a complete paints strip and start again. I can't remember where I sourced the last plain yellow lining I used, but it was much finer. Looks like there might be a further delay in completing the engine…..
On the bright side, the profile view of the loco does look really good and all the effort of lengthening the footplate and tank has certainly paid off..
