HI all,

 

This young lady came in for what i suppose you could call a re-identity from the British Steel numbered to D9517 which was based in monmouthshire in the late 60's which is where the customer asked it to be (south wales area)

 

Here she is with the number removed

And with the new number applied

14837399575_df6b40d5a8_b.jpg

Just awaiting on the BR Roundals to arrive in the post and then it will have a bit of corrective weathering and then it will ready for trip home.

 

I also have had this little bit of etch porn arrive :-tasty

In the pic we have the following:

Replacment chassis for the DJH big goods

2 X Jones Double deck sheep vans

12 X Drummond Double deck sheep vans

2 x Meat Vans

1 X 6 Wheel 11T brakevan (another couple still to arrive)

1 X 4 wheels 20T Brakevan

2 X Open carraige truck

 

So a little bit of soldering work and burning of fingers to do

Cheers

Simon

If you don't mind me asking, how did you manage to remove the old number so successfully? I tried turps substitute to no avail, likewise a fine rubbing compound (gentler form of T cut I guess). Having revealed a patch of bare plastic on one side I finally resorted to paint which I hope to rub in to match the surrounds when its had a decent time to harden. The other side still bears no. 45, so any help greatly appreciated!

Hi Keith,

I am sorry about not seeing your comment till now.

On this loco i used T-cut with a cotton bud, with the only pressure used is the weight of the bud resting on the side to provide the working area for the t-cut to work.

 

I takes a while to do but as you have found it is really easy to go through the paint.

 

Hope this helps for the future

Cheers

Simon
