50022 has now been fitted with the majority of transfers, along with a set of Fox nameplates (bought a very long time ago when the loco was still in revised NSE.

There are still a couple of jobs left before I can reassemble, the black paint did not work well with the masking tape around the windows, so this needs to be touched in by hand. In order to do this I need a new paint brush, so it’s waiting an amazon delivery. I also managed to damage the roof grill putting the body on, I didn’t notice a bent bald on the etched fan which pushed through the grill mesh. I have tried to give as best I could but eventually it will need a new grill. Finally it needs an orange cantrail line, I tried with my old replica pack but they wouldn’t stick...

The 31 has had the final paint touch up and just needs the cantrail line before I can varnish. It also needs a new 4 on one side as the original transfer has Half peeled off.
