numpty Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Poor old Jessie (works number 1873). Given a sex change and a bright blue coat of paint plus a face now turned into a wasp! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
avonside1563 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Back in a original livery, how can you not like it? Full kudos to the owner and the guys at Blaenavon for taking the plunge! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

numpty Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 I’m OK with black but yellow doesn’t suit me and I don’t do stripes! Preseved locomotives should represent their respective liveries of their working lives as well as fictitious ones. Full kudos for the paint job, gloss black isn’t the easy colour to paint anything with and those chevron stripes must have done somebody’s head in! I do like the engine and the owner is very lucky to be it’s custodian. Unfortunately I’ve not seen the loco in steam, however I did seen Jessie twice at Llangollen.Once on the rails being propelled by a diesel (painted blue) and the second time in the workshop (frames).

Gordon A Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Superb paint job. She was my favourite visiting loco when she came to the Avon Valley Railway for a spell. Can any one tell me what the lamp bracket is on the bunker - drivers side? Gordon A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
