Thanks Wayne.
I repainted the roofs of the two engines:
I did this to blend the painted fans in a bit better and to cover the filled-in holes in the A unit's roof. I did find that the rapido paint has a bit of a glossy sheen to it when sprayed so I shot the roofs with some dulcoat to tone them back down.
I also added the Rapido three-chime horn to the A unit.
I also brush painted the molded-on handrails of the b unit. I could have scraped the cast-on handrails off but I didn't want to risk gouging up the shell and the painted ones look fairly decent as a compromise.
The A is pretty much finished with the exception of the diaphragms I still have a few details to add to the B yet.
