Sorry it has been a while.




I have been quiet of late with various bits and pieces related to my return to work. It has meant that I have not really had a good deal of time spare to do any building or painting. I have begun the refit of the new European bogie coaches, with a view to anglicising them somewhat. 




 Unfortunately, due to the lockdown, paint has been in extremely short supply. My desire to use the aerosol paints on the carriages has meant that the repainting of these carriages has been set back some time until the shops get new stock. I am still intending to use BR blue and grey on these carriages just to add a bit of variety to the stock on the line.



 I was fortunate enough to be able to obtain this new example from someone on the 009 Facebook group. It has been heavily cut down and carries roughly the livery that I am intending to use on these new carriages. This example is heavily battered and has definetly seen better days. With that in mind, I shall be using it as the mess coach on works trains.

From the image you can see the full extent of Diesel No.11's new livery. I am going to keep the wasp stripes as I think they look really fitting. There is some work that remains to be completed on it in the form of the painting of the grill, I am still waiting for stock of the matt black paint to arrive at my local model shop.

Sorry it has been so long, I will try not to leave it so long next time.
