No not a seaside resort with a terrible name, but a small update about how the pantograph bay is coming along. I spent most of the day filing it out and it has come out about right. I believe its about half a milimetre too long but I shall rectify this wil some milliput when I install the brass pantograph bay. This will be done after I have drilled the hole for the pantograph which was donated from an old Farish class 91.

Some pictures of the before and after treatment of the bodyside paint removal (all done now bar some small bits and pieces)!

I would be keen to hear any feedback or hints. I think that tomorrow might be the day when I "make the cut" and remove the cab ends. Before that I need to decide whether to paint or use vinyl overlays on the front air dam. I think a coat of paint wont do me wrong since I can then add the overlays if I am unhappy with it.

I am also trying to work out how to make a decent windscreen for the unit. I am currently thinking of using a piece of acetate.
