Greetings Albert
before the front end is repainted it needs sanding back, and then carefuly
painted without getting any paint over the parts that have been painted.
finishing of the blue painting of the intermediate ends is a job thats needs
doing for two reason,
(1) gets rid of the green stuff,
(2) we have started painting them so they need finishing.
that will compleat the blue painting.

other jobs that need doing are,

Cleaning the TBCs underframe ready for painting.
cleaning the TBCS & DMS As bogies ready for painting.


Regards
Darren
