Garratt Goes Grey

 Our 130 has reached a significant stage with the start of the paint job.

Just like with the real locomotive Himself is starting with the tank and bunker on the assumption that as they've been painted, lined and fitted to the power bogies that they surely won't be changed before it enters service?

There's still some pipework to be added to the boiler unit in the area in front of the cab, but until that is plumbed in on the real one we won't know for certain what route it will take to get to its destination.

The handrail knobs have been fitted along the boiler but the rails are still to be threaded through them.
