CN 6069 in Sarnia was reunited with her nose cone today. It along with the rebuilt headlight have certainly changed the look of Betty forver now! No more rust and damaged paintwork on the nose and gone is that awful looking scab patch on the bottem!

The great thing about this project is just how much Peter and his gang have been able to do on a fairly small budget. There is much we can learn from these guys. The work that they've done on the tender so far is just as fantastic, and the tender backhead looks amazing with all of the lettering applied.

Also, be sure to visit (and join) the group's Facebook Page under the name "CNR-6069 Project Sarnia,Ontario". There are lots of neat photos and videos documenting the ongoing work.
