No. 34059 Sir Archibald Sinclair
Below are photographs of No. 34059's painting progress at Horsted Keynes. The painting has now reached the undercoat stage after much work in producing a good basic finish on which to paint. Areas where the surface finish was poor have been filled and then sanded before the first undercoat has been applied. The window frames are from the fireman's side of the cab and have been removed to assist the painting.

Normandy Landing!
No. 96 Normandy has been moved into Atlantic House for her overhaul. No. 32424's tender was first removed and then No. 96 was pushed onto the low loader which was then repositioned so that No. 96 could be off-loaded into Atlantic House.
No. 32424 Beachy Head will be reunited with her tender and they will then go into the maintenance shed.
