She looks positively spiffing. Its wonderful to see those old classic coaches run again.

Re: Coach 4931: painting
Indeed, thanks, Derek and Luca. Looks great. A job well done. We are working on the restoration of the next one - taking longer than we would like. We still have a little bit of work to do internally on this one though. Lights to be connected, PA speakers to be fitted. Some woodwork to be varnished or re-varnished, etc.

Talking of lights to be connected, here's a photo of Theo busy connecting the lights at CPK on Saturday morning before 4931 was moved to Hermanstad.
