Project: British Rail 9F locomotive

About 4 hours work on this one today. Two photographs - the one on top was with a flash - it's more distinct but doesn't quite show the colours as clearly as the one without a flash, which is less distinct, but shows the colours more faithfully: -

I'm enjoying this one - it's my first steam locomotive since my first ever acrylic painting on canvas back in July, and my Barry Island watercolour in August. I'm by and large using the acrylic paints much as watercolours, and I think it's so far conveying the rather sorry state of this locomotive which, I believe, was awaiting restoration at the time.
