New colour for NCB No.69's rear bufferbeam

Last weekend, Cameron applied the first coat of 'Tomato Red' - RAL 3013 to the rear buffer beam of NCB No.69.

Before...

...During...

And after - with the buffer housings left on the old red to be repainted at a later date.

Although the colour difference is subtle, it was concluded that Tomato Red is a closer match to the assumed original swatch left on the front buffer beam.
