Special low-melt solders (not from Halfords) are also available for white metal kits etc.. Would also recommend the use of a carbon-fibre pen for cleaning the metal in advance.

Took the Caledonian 123 tender to Halfords and spent some time going through their paints. Well, at the time to my eye Ford Balliol Blue seemed the nearest.

Don't have a Toolstation so postage, Halfords next ...
