A sketch of A6071 done some years ago has been found with all the important details regarding the livery in which 6071 should go in. (thanks go to Ronnie for doing this and to Phil for finding them) Notice the A was dropped then. That's because it will now be known as 6071, the A was added later.
Hopefully, lettering will be seen in the next couple of weeks, depending on availability and weather. This does mean that work on other projects may be hindered, however now that the group are working approximately 3 days a week, work will continue elsewhere.
Also some key details:
The tyre rims are going to be painted white to brighten up the bottom half
The "BP" will have "-" either side
An End is really in sight for 6071. The prospect of it running in October is rather tight, especially as pins and Vacuum hoses need fitting as well as a FTR exam on the axle boxes, not to mention the fitting of new plates and wooden spacers in the brakes. A completion date is hopefully set for the January Gala. Keep checking back weekly for further updates.
