Having done the Marmite thing and varying other forms of Mite type foodstuffs, time to get back in Track as it were.
Having fouled up on the White Flash down the side I had to respray the Centre Section to make it match that on the Cab Side, the last pic showed the way that I had Masked up the varying sections for spraying and that had to be all done again for the Centre Section. Never mind all done now, though inevitably there will be odd bits of spray blow through and my method to deal with this is to spray some of the source Spray Colour into a Rattle Can Lid then apply in the offending area's with a brush. Make sure that you have the correct cleaning materials at hand when you do this as the paint can dry quite quickly on the brush.
All dressed up and nowhere to go now, there are a few flashes of Blue still present around the windows and this will be attended to with some weathering that will reflect the dirt at the edges of Windows too. Also the repairs to damage in the Windscreen Wioers needs a flick with some Black Paint. Note that I have not done the stripe on the cab doors, just too difficult and I rather like the division that the lack of stripe on the doors makes.
I also need to do the lettering and this will probably be attended to today on the Computer. To this end I have been researching in the book below to see if I could find anything even near suitable. No hope so it will be all a big free lance fudge.
Very different look to it now and soon a line up with my other Harz inspired Diesels will need to be done for posterity.
For those that have never seen it this is a book well worth looking for if you are into East German Narrow Gauge. Gives all sorts of info including drawings of Bridges, Track Plans, Operating notes lus many drawings of stock as well.
