Very nice, weathering is a skill I have yet to learn and master. Maybe might try after I've cracked renumbering/renaming, oh and building scenery!

Thanks for the comment Philip, glad you like it. My next blog entry will be about removing the factory applied loco numbers, using waterslide transfers to renumber, before the weathering of 37092 can commence.

Nice bit of weathering. I would like to try my hand at airbrushing, as I have only used dry-brush weathering in the past. I feel that each has it's own advantages, but both could really enhance a model!

I will do my BR blue model (37 ???) once it has been renumbered and lowered (as per bcnPete of coombe junction - moorswater fame). As for removing the factory applied numbers, I scraped them off with my fingernail on one of my peaks before renumbering it as 45 056. It appeared in the December 2011 edition of the railway modeller (the bogies have been narrowed as per that article).

Regards,

Robert.

That sounds like an interesting read on bogie mods.

I also use the scratching technique to remove the numbers but use a very small jewellers flat screwdriver to remove the most part. Followed by thinners and a cotton bud to clean and remove the last bits.

I personally have never got on with dry brushing on locos, I always seem to over do it, but on buildings it works very well for me.

Yes Pete, this is probably the way I will go. Also, I'm waiting to see how Wayne Kinney's fiNeTrax turns out before I commit as this is similar to EasyTrack but to N Standards too.

Thanks for the link, I'll take a peek later
