92240 partially repainted at Horsted Keynes. The boiler is in grey undercoat on this side of the engine, but reflection has caused the photograph not to show this clearly. More progress was made on the eastern side of the locomotive (see subsequent images). 08.12.2012 5976
Michelle Barton was preparing the tender for painting. The difference between the treated end of the tender and the section that was being rubbed down is clear. The section nearest to the camera is now smooth to the touch. Compare the surface also to the cab door to see the progress that is being achieved. Rubbing down has shown that the original undercoats on 75027 have largely failed and turned to a chalky texture, whereas the original undercoats on 92240 are in slightly better condition.
