Beautiful weather (hope it was wherever you, the reader are) and perfect for spray painting. The Compound tender got its primer coat (Halford's etch primer, what else?)

While the 4F finally got a matching gloss black loco to go with its tender:

And a more "down to earth shot":

Next there will be some touching up to do before painting the buffer beams red and brass/copper fittings. Then it will be time to install the DCC sound. The 4F is a tough looking loco, ready for almost anything you throw at it, just let it take its time getting to its destination! Together with the Jinty a nice contrast to the passenger locos on shed.
