Treating Crabs!

About midweek I decided to do some weathering, so I sat down and decided to tackle my Crab! Firstly I wanted to renumber it, making it a Dumfries engine, I used Fox transfers 10" cab side numbers and smoke box door number and also replaced the shed plate with a 247 Developments shed plate. My layout isn't really based on anywhere so I've decided to renumber some of my locomotives to the local area of Carlisle and south Scotland, as my wife is from Dumfrieshire and I'm a Cumbrian ( I acquired her on a Reiver raid, I only went on it for some sheep!! ).
Over the next few days I did a bit of airbrushing and brush painting and finally finished it tonight.

The crew are from Modelu, they are just the ones available from the website and aren't scans of me as I fear I'd make the scanner crack!

Not the best photo but zooming in show's the shed plate better.

Apart from that I haven't really done much modelling to the layout, just a few bushes here and there.
