Whilst work slows a little on the D6, I've turned my attention to getting a decent teak finish on my GCR carriages....

.... first up is brake third 5277 in ex-works condition (I'll be trying to get more weathered patches on the next attempt).

You might be able to see that the next in the rake (composite 5084) has also begun the process.... don't worry the D6 will be dealt with, very soon!
