Some slow progress on the painting of this loco. White upper bodyside stripe, orange cant rail line, logos, number, lettering, etc., still to be done;

Nothing much on the class 50, although that will be done in large loco livery - a lot easier than NSE :rolleyes:

And a bit more done this afternoon (but still the orange cant line to do, paint the door handles, front grips and hi-intensitry light lens, replace the cab handrails, re-assemble and weather........)

Looking good Grahame! Can I ask what you use for masking when painting a scheme like this?

 

Cheers

I used Humbrol Maskol painted on the yellow before air-brushing the blue. And I used Phoenix Precision PQ11 low tack masking tape for the grey roof. However, the white with red and grey stripes are a Fox transfer put on over the blue.

HTH.

That looks really good Grahame, an NSE duff has been tempting me for HHC, but I've got so much else to be getting on with in the mean time. You say NSE is more complicated than BR blue, but it looks a hell of a lot better!biggrin.gif

chacun son goût as the French say Jo...I guess it depends what you grew up with (a bit like your favourite Dr Who and James Bond) but we would have to agree to differ on the BR Blue / NSE debate!

 

Back on topic, some nice work there Grahame - it does start to look very smart indeed.
