EWS tractor gets grubby

I've recently been lucky enough to get hold of a Farish 37 in EWS livery, so it's been through the shops to get lowered to reduce the gap between body and bogies and to get a dose of weathering. Usual mix of enamel washes and powders and a spray of dullcote. Still some details to still pick out, but I'm pleased with how it's come out - it's already become one of my favourite locos!

Looks fab :good:

Am not big on the couplings but that's just me...

 

Thanks! I agree with the couplings...to a point. I'm giving the Dapol couplers a go for practicality as I want to be able to do some shunting when I get around to building my layout. I tried DGs a while back and didn't get on with them. I'm always open to suggestions though!

I was going to suggest DG!

 

Actually I thought they were Kadee couplings not Dapol - understood the need for practicality though...

I think the issue is with the NEM pockets which are proud of the bufferbeam. Tempting as it is to loo them off completely, I have seen people trim the Dapol to move it in towards the body, so I might try that. Once I'm committed l will fit snowploughs but I'm waiting to see what's I've got to fix them onto first!
