Hmmm, more microset needed...

 

And after applying a liberal amount of microset and some weathering I ended up with this:

Underside with Bachmann Nem shafts fitted:

Not too bad I think..

 


Epilogue:

 

Ready for shipment. Fits inside a Bachmann 7 plank plastic insert like a glove

And on the layout of it's (proud?) owner...

Coming next, an improved Hornby 9 plank wagon.

Nice work Sierd, can I ask which transfer / decal film you've used to produce Robs lettering for this.

Hi Seird, that is very nice indeed - I really like both the livery and weathering. I hope Robin is paying you in diamonds :-)

To tell you the truth, I don't know! Standard A4 transparent decal sheet available at the 'local' (only 20 miles...) copyshop.

 

Thanks, I've got some in "a safe place " can't remember the manufacturer but as I recall its recommended to use a laser printer.

Some years ago gave it a try using a good quality ink jet and wasn't too impressed even having left the sheet to dry for several days although the detail was pretty sharp.
