Hi all. Updates will be few and far between now the APT is basically done. There are still the vinyls to put on the PC ( once i got the fund source sorted ) and little odd jobs on the APT itself, but my attention is now on 43018's cosmetic restoration, so if you want to follow that one go to the 43018 restotation page. Cheers all. Here's 43018 page https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1462542752573453&id=100064532270948

Painting now complete just the logo to sort out which will be done as soon as i generate the funds for it. This will be moved from this position onto what we call the " exhibition" road behind 43081 & MK3 coaches. Next up will be 43018 to be repainted, so once that's moved it will no longer be open to the public, but we are working on an alternative to open up, but not saying what yet.

Time to get this load of screwed up lining paper out of retirement. This believe it or not is the full size Intercity APT logo i traced way back in 2009 and used on repaints from then until around 2018 using it as a template onto sticky vinyl.
This year i used a proper firm to make it complete with "contour & w**d" option, but at £350+ it ain't happening on this single power car, to expensive just for a single logo on a single vehicle..so back to doing my own...oh joys lol
