I decided to make another red LMS tank, so after masking the bits that need to remain black, two coats of red were applied...
This one is about to become 2273, using leftover transfers...
There were two final LMS decals remaining and enough numbers...
The Fox transfers are water slide, and quite forgiving...
My previous effort was used as a guide to ensure everything was straight...
Then the numbers are applied in the same way...
Final check down the side of the body to make sure everything is in line...
Then the transfers for the other side are wetted ready for application...
And applied...
With the front and rear buffer beams painted red, the handrails are re-attached. Just need to add the smoke box numbers at some point...
Ordered a replacement armature but ordered the wrong one, so I have a spare armature for a 2-6-4.
Total cost of restoration of this loco, technically is still nothing!
