After putting photos of both my Class 09 shunters on here recently, I had several people ask if I could post a photo of them together, so they could assess the differences. Please find said photos below.

I have to say I have done a little more work on both Locos since publishing the earlier photos, In my mind a Loco is never finished! I think this degree of ‘Fade’ was quite normal, especially BR Blue shunters that could go many years without a re-paint.

You could go even further and paint one of the engine room doors in a different shade as typical of a quick replacement from a scrap or unused loco – just a thought.
