Painting Undecorated Steam

[tetters]

Thanks Doc. That's a lot to take in however I wasn't expecting this would be an overnight process. I see what you mean about the "different" tones of black and grey and glossy and matte surfaces. To do it right the tender and the cabs studying the pictures I've looked at, appear to have a shine to them. And I've heard and seen that the fire box always had an almost reddish or brown colour to it. It also looks as if taking it apart will be an essential part of the process...if I'm going to do this right the first time.

Thanks for the pictures too Mr. Nutbar. They are a great reference and much appreciated.
