Last night’s modelling was an attempt to try and finish off the Manor body, adding transfers to the buffer beam and tende, along with the etched names & number plates (Modelmaster).

I am very pleased with the end result, the colour makes a huge difference (so I think I will have to make a start on respraying my Hornby locos to match). 

Of course there is one major omission, I have forgotten to add the handrails!  I will clearly have to glue them in place, but will try and get them knocked up and fitted tonight…..
