"City of Lincoln", Part IV


James Harrison

254 views

When I last spoke about this model, I'd had a bit of an accident involving Humbrol Clearcote (emphatically not recommended), which necessitated scrapping the practically-finished paint job on "City of Lincoln", as well as a fair amount of bad language and relegation of the model to my museum of mistakes.

 

Happily she was to spend only a few weeks mounted on a plinth there, and after a few weeks' more worth of work on her she's now finished (of course keeping the Humbrol Clearcote well away from her this time!)

The lining on the cab sheets and the tender isn't quite right, but is close that I can live with it. In any case, I know where I erred so for the next loco through the works (Sir Clement Royds) I won't make the same mistake.

Good to see the loco back in full glory. You can't keep a good loco (or modeller!) down :-)

The good news is that one of it's 'little cousins' will also be finished soon.  Then I just have to keep going for at least anouther... nine locos (that's not counting the freight engines...)
