A bit of roof painting this afternoon, and 47709 is now 'finished' (well sort of).

Still need to add the boiler port detail to the no2 end, along with the boring stuff needed to get an operational loco (new lights, P4, couplings and DCC) but from a modelling point of view the interesting stuff is now finished.

(I've just realised that the photo below was taken before I re did the OHLE flashes that came off with the masking earlier.) One other job that still needs doing is replacing the lenses for the marker lights at one end, as I seem to have lost the part.

If anyone wants to have a closer look at the model in the flesh, will have the model (along with 47768) on the DEMU stand at Warick on Saturday assuming the show goes ahead.

Just remembered, one other thing that needs to be added is the coiled pipe on one side of the underframe. Must get on and source a part for it!
