I managed to get this finished over the weekend. I struck lucky on eBay and snared this gorgeous Dapol Western. One of the finest N gauge models out there IMO; we will see if the new 40 from Farish knocks it from top spot! Although I think the factory weathered versions are great, I wanted to do my own so weathering was consistent across the fleet. So a mix of paints and powders and a coat of flat matt and she's ready for service.

 

I also managed to get some ballasting done over the weekend, but no photos as it is the worlds most tedious job.

Subtle, beautiful!! I keep meaning to pick up one to represent a preserved loco, which would need weathering 'the other way' to increase the shine... a sort of weathering I suppose..
