As Wheal Elizabeth is about to make an previously unplanned exhibition appearance at Scaleforum, I thought I'd better try and get the T9 ready for service. Have given it a light touch of weathering with the airbrush, applied smoke box number and route disks and given it a couple of coats of Dullcote. Just needs the crew, the front coupling (I had it here somewhere) and the shed code plate. I am rather pleased with how this has turned out. Oh and it runs too, though it hasn't pulled a train in anger yet.
Also in the paint shop is the Peckett, seen here after initial coats of its final colour. Why yellow? Why not... It's a well known fact that certain clay works purchased ex Swansea Harbour Trust locos from BR at the end of service...ahem.
Real reason is because my son wanted it to be yellow and given the choice of name it seems rather appropriate don't you think?
Edited now S4um confirmed.
