Himself has decided he's not going to wait any longer for illusive evidence of the pipework on the 'engine side' of 130, so it's time to start painting it whether it's right or wrong.
There was one remaining piece of brass wire to be connected up on the side of the firebox, and we'll just have to hope that they haven't decided to route it anywhere radically different to on the other three WHR engines.
The completed boiler and cradle have been given a coat of primer as the first step.
Both power units and their tanks / bunkers have been painted and lined in the gorgeous maroon livery, so this is the last step for completing the locomotive.
This will be our fifth NGG16 in the fleet, but only four of them represent WHR machines, the doyen of the quintet being turned out in plain black with Alfred County Railway branding on the bunker.
