The lower half of the centre section of "Esso" tank No.1914 was wire brushed, degreased, and primed to match the top half.
This section now only requires black undercoat and black topcoat, and then the tanker is likely to be left alone over the winter months as the weather deteriorates. I will begin again in spring, the winter months will see timber replacement/repairs to other wagons which will make a nice change.
71000 "Duke of Gloucester" was out and about today, on 'Driver Experience' turns.
