Well, it's time to come out of my hole and climb back onto my hard stool.
It has been nearly a month since I posted any pix of my M7, but I've been working hard on it in the background.
Here's how the front and rear looked before I restarted work on the loco :-
And here's a shot of how they both looked before I put the loco into the paint shop :-
And as you can see, the two 'after' shots are complete
. I think my camera was trying to go walkies on me, and I didn't spot the problem until after the loco went into the paint shop.
I *will* post more piccies of this loco as/when the painting is done, but don't hold your breath waiting. . .

Edit. It's a real shame that the last two pix didn't turn out as I was trying to show that I've added some suspension chain to the steam pipes front and rear.
again. - Ian
