think I best include this picture to show that the black work has now been repainted, the rough stuff is what happened when I tried to get some paint on the model for an event at my club, when I got to the black work the temp was far too high with obvious results..

The smokebox and saddle were also repainted…


Alas, I don't have a good photo of the actual repainted running boards and they are currently boxed up for protection.
