20303 in DRS pt 2

The next big job was to prepare the lower half of the body, adding new transfers (pre made sets from Fox for the numbers) and repainting the black ‘footplate’ into DRS blue.  Thankfully Rainbow Railways DRS blue is a near perfect match with Bachmann’s once you’ve added a coat of varnish to tone down the gloss, it also covered very nicely over a black undercoat.  While the blue was out I also touched in the area where a handrail knob ad been removed from each side when shortening the handrails.

20303 in DRS (1998)
