 Andy Netherwood solders a flange onto a feeder to a new injector for #35005.
... and here (1st March) is where it fits. With injectors that work as easily as Bodmin's, we'll be happy bunnies.

Roger Thornton was grey-undercoating the cladding of CP below the running plate whilst Duncan was dusting and tack-ragging in preparation for the green undercoat.

By the end of the day, parts of the cab were green.
