JMA Transfers

Having bought the transfers over a year ago, i've finally got round to applying them. Thesepictures, posted by Beast 66606 have been a huge help. thanks!

This wagon is virtually complete, transfer-wise, the others have had the toothpaste stripe applied and the NP logo.

The majority of the transfers are small printed details and i'm impressed with how small the type has been created and is still very legible.

Ive also made the lever for uncoupling the buckeye type coupler, brass wire bent to shape and attached through one of the buffer mounting holes with thin copper wire.

Plenty of transfer application to keep me busy for a while, having seen Beasts pics, i may well have another look at the bogies, to redo a couple of small details.

Very cool. Are you leaving the NP livery in place, or will you be daubing the logos out with whatever paint comes to hand, like EWS did after they bought the wagons?

Hi Jim

Glad you like the look of them, and yes the idea is to model them in EWS's "lets do as little as possible" state, with NP logos painted out, though several either were never treated to this or it was come off over time so i will model a couple with partial NP logos showing through. Theres plenty to do to weather the wagons as the paint finish doesn't seem to have stood the test of time, this is one of the things that attracted me to modelling them, the general air of neglect, though when originally bought from National Power they were fairly new wagons so it seems abit odd.

cheers

Chris
