There are a lot more details to look at if you get chance at South Cerney.

Agreed - I congratulated Richard on leaving the original paintwork uncovered. Really nice touch I thought.
On the same side as the patch on the tender, the rear section of the motion screen is also in original paint and lining. Richard said that he spent quite some time with wet and dry taking off the layers of black paint that had been put on top of the original before varnishing it.
