82045 The way ahead?

As soon as the word "Paint" is mentioned on here people start. Once the chassis is wheeled and over the pit, perhaps the paint inspectors could be invited to check the paint job, at a price!!!

 

Are people not taking the irony here with a good dollop of sarcascm???

 

I think we're the only ones in on the secret, mate!

 

Never going to mention paint again - not even in B&Q!

............and definitely never in sarcasm!

 

Lowest form of wit - apparently...

 

The April news update is posted early this month at http://www.82045.org.uk/news/82045_news-april11.html

A few photographs of the smokebox saddle are pictured and not a pot of unmentionable in sight ..........yet!

nice to see matt get his footplate ride. haha

 

If only it were 82045 or 45551 - that name plate was very tempting over the weekend.....!!!!!

 

Hope it is black unmentionable....

 

Haha i thought the same thing............. so now the name plate is on my dining room table

 

Bet you`re popular at home Gav! I used to tolerate assorted loco whistles (2 GWR and 1 LMS I seem to remember) having pride of place in my dining room. I stopped polishing them, life`s too short, so they ended up in the loft. I believe one of them is correct for 82045.

Thank you for the new update.

 

Those that have been following the Std 3 wheel debate on the Hengist thread might be pleased to know the wheels with 17 spokes will eventually be painted with black unmentionable.

 

Will that be Blackberry Black, a la LNWR?

 

whens the next update out on the website?

 

We usually aim for the last week of the month Gav106.
