My LAST Jubilee - well actually my last TWO

Well not long before my 2.5 months in Hospital over the Christmas period (a good excuse for me not to buy any presents BAR HUMBUG) I managed to secure another bargain Jubilee. As usual this poor loco was in a terrible BR Green livery, I have no idea why the manufactures keep doing this, I mean they cannot be popular can they?

 

My plan was to repaint the poor Jube into a decent LMS livery, and jut before I could do this I ended up staying with the fantastic NHS, since I have been home my rehabilitation has been going ok but I still have limited control over my right arm, so instead of filling my time catching up on things that I could actually do, I spent some time on EvilBay and guess what I rescued another Jubilee.

 

So what to do with them, should I have packed them away until my full abilities return, or should I try something different? While I was contemplating this I noticed that I actually had a left arm that was not really doing anything so I thought it was time it earned a living.

 

With a little effort I managed to remove all the terrible BR lining and emblems and got the Jubilee bodies ready for some undercoat, so impressed with my progress I even managed to get them both in a crimson coat, and a few of their black bits painted.

As you can see there is a lot of areas that need a touch up, and then I can start to consider the lining, now can I use my bow pen with my left hand? Still it will give me plenty of time to work out which identities to assign to the pair, any ideas?

 

One thing is for certain is that these are my last two Jubilee's as if I get any more the DO might do me an injury? Perhaps I should start to concentrate on simple black engines?

 

So until the next time as ever Happy Modelling :)

Good to hear from you Paul. This place is not the same without you and, ok then, your Jubilees :)

 

Very neat job on the locos. I'm in awe that you have managed to do that with one arm not up to speed. I hope the right arm continues to improve.

 

Meanwhile, I shall ponder what BAR HUMBUG means. Jägermeister? (I hate Jägermeister!).

I suspect the smellchequer has wrought some confusion.

 

”Bah! Humbug!” sounds similar but might google more usefully.

You wont say that when you see them lined, today I may try using my bow pen with my left hand for the first time, just think of everything that can go wrong.

It should have been Bah Humbug, but Im a bit of an idiot, Scrooge use to be a hero of mine until he went soft halfway through the story and started being "nice", I mean being nice what's the point.
