Drab makeover begins...

Today the chaps in the EJ&KLR workshop started on the recently acquired DR carriage. After stripping it down and masking they applied a coat of undercoat.

Geoff then looked down the work instruction over a mug of coffee, he's not a tea sort of fella, almost choking when he saw that the Chief Engineer is replacing the colourful red and cream paint job with a drab olive green! What is he thinking!

On a more serious note work started in earnest on the coach this evening. I've got the transfers already sorted for this repaint, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the finish when she's done.

  1. James. I like it. I think that Mikkel has had a little influence on the story line there.. as he has with one or two of mine.
    Looking interesting... following the transformation with interest

  2. Thanks Jon, it's coming along, as is the whole project... Tonight I've done some gloss varnish on the sides.
