LocoWorks: Bagnall Refurbishment (2) --- ready for service

Just before heading to the paint shop I did one more test run on the garage layout - a mysterious squeaking noise occurred while going round curves. The problem was traced to the cow-catcher; the bottom bar was rubbing on the rail top. I removed it and replaced it with a wire bar a bit further up - no more 'Mr Squeaky'


While doing the painting I mixed some green colours to get a near match to the loco's body colour. I used this to paint the wheels and the sand boxes which has greatly improved the look.
