Hello :)

 

Just in case I dont manage to squeeze a blog posting out between now and Christmas Day I thought it would be a good idea to wish everyone a Merry Christmas :)

 

I have revisited my 52xx this past week, tweaking and yet more tweaking to try and get the engine running much better (its being shown up by my pannier tank) so the chassis has almost had another rebuild! Oh, and the muppet that I am I also manged to loose the cab roof and so I had to scratchbuild another one too. Anyway, trying to keep in the spirit of the weather this Christmas below are a couple of pictures (in the classic RMWeb style of one colour and one B&W) of the reconditioned engine. Photoshopping smoke and steam is not easy! (as you can tell!) The photos were taken in the same way as I described in a previous post.

Oh wow, the pics are super- I bet you're feeling smug with yourself now!

 

The 52xx certainly looked the business when it was running on Wednesday, and the scenic pose certainly captures the essence of the loco. Keep up the great work & Merry Christmas

Hope the 52xx runs as well as it looks.

 

Looking forward to many more blog postings in 2011 ;)

I think the B&W looks slightly more realistic (but that's probably because i'm only used to seeing pictures as appose to recalling memories!) Cracking bit of work though Missy, the 52xx does look superb! Love the weathering and it deffinitely deserves a big thumbs up for 2mm FS!

 

Not surprised you've managed to lose componants when you're working with something that small! That said I know people who lose parts of the full size things too! :)

 

Merry Christmas to you too!

Merry Christmas Missy.

 

I'm sure that the roof will turn up when you need something else.

Merry Christmas Missy

 

You do realise that when you find the roof you'll have to build another loco to go underneath it...

Merry Christmas Missy and congrats on winning the class with those tankers. The 52xx is nice two.
