    Seeing the photos it was worth stripping down and repainting the tanks and bunker.
    I hope to see her in Toddington in August .

    5542 is now at the GWSR ready to start normal working, hope to have photos on 5542 - The Planet's Favourite Prairie tomorrow.

    I suppose this marks the end of the overhaul - and hence this thread - but the full story and pics will stay on the site for those who want to see the blow by blow account.
