    Interesting that the corridor tender door hasn't been painted in black, or if it was it has since been painted blue!

    The cab interior is also blue in places. Not generally visible and one less thing to paint in the future!

    Would suggest some items were painted off the loco, such as door and cab pieces, seats etc..

    When the time constraints came, so she went to black, and do we know the blue pieces are in top coat???

    They may be left over from the last overhaul, and have not been touched yet, in the race to get her back together, whilst leaving York???

    Wasn't criticising it, completely understand the reasons for it. Was just remarking on it as something I'd noticed!
