Identity Change and Repair

Here are two steam Locos that have recently been worked on, One repair for a dropped Loco and change of identity for another.

The first Loco was a change of identity from LMS to LNER, reasonably straight forward for this Sentinel, but removing the old LMS transfers was not easy and I had to respray the sides. HMRS transfers used, followed by a light weathering. I think some glazing would benefit, but that was not in my brief.

The second Loco was a repair after being dropped, the whitemetal chimney was off, the driver/fireman were lose and it had a slight crease in the roof. All were repaired, but a new chimney in cast brass would have been a slightly better option. After adding all bits back, it was a partial repaint and a varnish. If you did not know what had happened then it would not be noticeable.
