Delph - Jubilee weathered


Dave Holt

794 views

My Jubilee, 45701, Conqueror, has now been weathered by friend, David Clarke, ready for me to finish off. Cab glazing, crew and DCC chip to be fitted, the tender coaled up and the cab roof fixed. For some reason I haven't yet identified, it has developed an intermittent short when running forward which it didn't have previously. A quick check of loco brakes and sand pipes hasn't shown anything out of place, so some further investigation will be necessary.
Here she is in her current state:

Thanks, John. The weathering is based on, but not an exact copy of, a photo of the loco at Newton Heath shed (home base) probably taken in the mid to late 1950's (it later had a Stanier 4000 gallon tender, which limits the date). Just my period.

Dave,it was a real privalage to paint and weather such an exquisite model. The level of detail you put on is truly astounding. Doing light weathering is much more difficult than a filthy engine and in my view must be done from a photo, as was this one.
