....not the Bionic Woman, but another Bionic Bulleid - more that later

Two more loco's rolled off the renaming/renumbering and weathering production line this weekend.

First up was Rebuilt West Country 34095 Brentor another one I hadn't done

And then T9 30337, looking her age I might add (photo's have been redone )

Currently awaiting varnishing and weathering in the paintshop is another King Arthur 30797 Sir Blamor de Ganis.

Then the rebuild operation that's been nearly 18 months in the making, since Rebuilt 34100 Appledore fell from my paint table and left me with a complete loco and tender chassis and trashed bodies. Tonight the salvage operation began with the removal of the damage bodies, which I stripped of anything that maybe of use and binned the carcasses. Tender chassis was repaired, it just needed a set of steps replacing. The Loco chassis had lost it's front bogie to another Rebuilt, fortunately I found another one in my parts box. Before fitting the new loco body I removed the nameplates, to save me a job later on. Now it just a case of renaming and renumbering the loco to 34031 Torrington and bringing the 5,250 gl tender body upto spec, before painting and lining out. Then the whole thing can be weathered

That's all for now
