The single Fairlie arrives in the 'paint shop'
it came apart nice and easy, just two screws and a nut & bolt.
The window frames on the front of the cab were nearly falling off, so I removed them and re-glued them into position.
There were no window frames on the rear of the cab, so I made up some from strips of plasticard...
There was one other bit missing, a Salter style safety valve...a bit of brass wire, plastic tube and plasticard was used to make one up....
The final paint scheme is a dark grey roof, maroon sides, boiler top and cylinder covers; black for the footplate, smokebox and water tank tops; plus two coats of gloss varnish. Out on the garage layout .....
At work on a passenger service.....
