blog-0474715001327013808.jpgI had a successful day I wired up and put the pickups onto the chassis. It then spent about two hours or so running in each direction on the rolling road, seems to be sweet as a nut. Will know for sure when the body is reattached. Fingers crossed.

 

It was lucky I had this to do because the balcony was out off bounds today.

Above is a picture taken in December showing the loco body in primer. I was very pleased I only had a few imperfections to remove.

The rest of my time modelling today was the detail painting on the back head shown above.

Above is the footplate almost complete, it was primed and painted in December. The buffers were done one day last week. I am now wondering whether I should blacken the buffer heads or not.

I would, as far as I know only Locos on exceptional duties had their buffers bulled up or painted white, the usual was a good dollop of grease.

These days I blacken buffers. This was posted about 10 years ago. I'm updating my blog, but as soon as you edit anything it seems to repost it.

I was happy to be reminded!
