28/09/25 – Getting ready for the second coat

Hello everyone and welcome to another update from Quorn. This week we’ve prepped both 3606 and 3621 for their second coat of paint, and 3854 has received a bit more work on the underframe to clear the corrosion.

James, Charlie and I spent most of the day scuffing the fresh black paint. We managed to get both east side barrels done and three of the four ends. While we did this, Ernie sorted some donated large spanners and impact sockets away

Nick, Harry, Tom, Mark and Dan continued the push on 3854, using the needle guns and hammer and chisels on the end pockets and the solebars.

Oliver and Charlie finished repairing the hand rail to the tool van

The team also finished scuffing all the areas on the two tanks missed

That wraps up this week, and sorry its a bit of a late one! I’m travelling for work again so this is the only chance I’ve had! Join us next week where hopefully the tanks will have received their extra coat. Thanks for reading.

    Keep it up! I tune in regularly to watch the progress from afar and am amazed what you chaps are doing.

    Keep it up! I am amazed what you chaps (and a chapess?) get up to and tune in regularly to get a fix of badly-needed Good News. Cheers from distant Berlin
