Before leaving for a week in Wales, Himself was making startling progress on the lining on Lyn.
The same was not true of the numbers for the tenders which were a little on the large size, but we found a set of numbers in yellow in the general alphabet and numeral section of the catalogue which are a lot more suitable.
The white lining is very impressive, particularly around the nameplate on the cabside and even more so on the oval plate on the bunker.
I'm never really been a fan of the Southern livery on any size of locomotive - it's a bit too 'in your face' for my tastes, and I've never felt Lyd fits in on the FR like that.
I much preferred it in the spoof BR black, or its original pre-grouping livery would be even better in my mind.
Somehow the loco which suits it best is this big, boxy American interloper.
