About Me

My photo
When i left school back then i was lucky enough to enroll on an engineering apprenticeship. I think this lead me in good stead. I was always one of those children that pulled things apart but actually put them back together again. My first engine given to me at the age of Seven, a Triang Princess Elizabeth. The rest as they say is History. Later in life i got back in to Model Railways and started building Pine Road. This could lead anywhere so i hope you enjoy my Blog.

Kernow/EFE Adams 02 window surrounds

Looking at Kernow's Adams 02, it was mentioned that the side window surrounds of the cab was in fact wrong. Kernow had painted the frame white, thinking this didn't look quite right.....
..... One delved a bit deeper.
Looking at some photos in the vast array of books I have obtained over the years on Southern loco's, this should be black.
Originally it's actually a brass band running around the inside of the apperature.
Southern days they all look to be painted black.
With a pot of Humbrol satin black and a very small paint brush I set about overpainting it.
Half an hour later, we have this.
Far better.
There newer model, No 182 is correct. An easy fix.
