Day 6   --  The repainting starts here


Well after a little break last night we set to work cleaning and rubbing down the paint work and tonight I did a little bit of painting.

Here you can see the roof which when it came off for the re-build had a nasty dent due to a de-rail ( not on the track the loco fell of my transporting track).

The cab now has it first coat of Hammerite Blue paint

The Boiler cladding now has its first coat of paint

The boiler bandings now have their first coats of paint.
