Restoration!

The class 2095 loco has now been restored to a serviceable condition. Both motor blocks have been stripped, cleaned, repaired and re-assembled. One motor could do with being replaced as it is worn, but we'll save the money for now and see how it goes.

Damaged bodywork has been touched in, and the side windows replaced. New body side ÖBB plates and number plates have been made up from plasticard and Slater's lettering, painted to match the originals.

The crew seem happy with the new addition to the roster!
