There's been a big step forward with Welsh Pony to round off 2020, with Himself applying the first of the main lining panels to the saddle tank.
They still need some tidying up on the corners but you get a clear impression of how they might turn out.
Because we seem to like doing things the hard way these panels are built up out of straight and corner sections, and the way the transfers have been printed onto the carrier film you have to cut them out as precisely as you can, which is tricky when they are so comparatively tiny.
The cocktail stick taped down beneath the tank gives you a sense of scale.
Just like on the real locomotive the main lining design draws the focus and you have to look really closely to spot the orange line around the edge.
Which makes you wonder whether it was really worth bothering with it?
