Is it being done at Hereford again Adam?

[AdamH]

Not sure but I suspect so.

[MattW]

Yes 67647 has gone to Hereford and work has starting on prepping 67663 for repaint.

[Red Midland]

The aforementioned preparation of 67663, as recorded at the beginning and end of my duty yesterday.

The vinyls had been removed and both sides sanded down.

Also included a view of 33042 looking rather sorry for itself in the company of 32633 from the Potteries.

Start of duty - 10.21.
Some of the skirting panels had been removed.

End of duty - 22.09.
Both sides sanded down with vinyls removed.
Progress made.

Currently withdrawn with an uncertain fate. : (

[MattW]

Now at Hereford Car and Commercial.

Does anyone know if 67647 has returned from paint yet?

[AdamH]

Does anyone know if 67647 has returned from paint yet?

Not yet.

I'm sure there will be a race to report the news and post photos when it does.

67647 has returned from the paintshop, it is in the bodyshop awaiting vinyls. I expect that it will be back on the road late tomorrow or on Friday.
