I wonder if it has been touched up and re varnished?. Somewhat of a forgotten art.

I caught the lagging of the Horses Friend with the front wheel when John took it to Kemble. I was absoloutly gutted about it as it made a real mess of the paint.

By the next rally out John had got Bob to it, who had touched in the paint, and revarnished the front section of cladding. Other than looking a little more shiny than the rest of the engine you would never had known what I had done. Three or four events later the shine had dulled a bit and it was completely un-noticeable.
