Work is progressing well with the fitting of outer skin panels. The loco is currently weighed down with lead weights to simulate the engine and ancillaries, so to stress the frame correctly while the skin is applied. One side is nearing completion so the loco is beginning to take shape.

Additionally on Thurs 11th the cab seat cushions, backs and arm rests were brought away from BH. These will all be renewed with brand new leather upholstery.
