Lovely subtle finish. I think the Southern Railway might want their van back too! -

An interloper was spotted shunting at Loughan Quay today. Provenance unknown. I think there's a contractor somewhere missing an engine. HL .mov -

"An absolute tub of an engine" 😄 Sounds like it could have been a timing issue, combined with being worn out. Milne described her as 'powerful' but in need of excessive repair. My idea would be that she'd be the prototype, and modifications could be made to the production batch to suit. Would need to get to the bottom of this steaming issue. The drawing office at Inchicore studied the work of Chapelons streamlining of steam passages for the 800s, and the result (combined with the massive boiler) was a very free steaming engine. -

Time for paint. A coat of Halford's etch primer was first.... ...some filler here and there and then some detail painting in the cab before the roof was soldered on. Next, the cab interior was masked off (actually stuffed full of tissue paper) before the colour coat went on. Halford's rattle can again, Vauxhall Burgundy Red. I intended to use Humbrol Maskol on the whistle and the various other bits of valvery and pipery but forgot so some careful use of cellulose thinners on a small brush took the paint off again in the required places. Matt Black and Metalcote applied with a brush took care of most of the other details. The paint was left to dry for a day or so before weathering with paint and powders. The chassis got treatment to match. There are a few little details needing attention but I think it's just about done. HL was painted to match its stablemate, a Robert Stevenson Hawthorn 0-4-0ST built a year or two ago from a High Level kit. Alan
