@Project_SETG455 - B exam progressed, FMA’s closed, and some fine details added. As you can see it’s all about the attention to detail. Some great work from @apjackson75 and @tickle_liam

Apologies to @MrTimDunn for making his scarf nervous - no scarves were harmed in the retrimming of these seats!!!

After another Crewe to Strawberry Hill round trip, @LocoServicesGrp Brighton Belle EMU has two functioning Driving Motors :)
