37429 Eisteddfod Genedlaethol.
It seems to have been a while since I last posted an entry here, fortunately the christmas break has allowed me to make progress with a few projects.
Over the past few day's I have started on a model of 37429 in Regional Railways livery, utilising one of the earlier body-shell's on a slightly newer chassis. Having detailed the No 1 end, I am now turning to the small specific details which the locomotive holds and the basis of weathering / grime established using photos.
For the vacuum and air pipes I have used items from the Craftsman range. The MU cable is standard Bachmann; filled to give a more rounded curvature. Hornby 31 buffers have also been fitted, I feel that they are more bulky and realistic than the standard offering.
Trawling through fotopic has shown many photos of this particular 37/4 in service, this has highlighted some added features which will need to be added to the model ( Lamp bracket position etc). I'm also going to replicate the pipe work around the chassis.
The next stage is to begin to weather the chassis, I'm also hoping to take some photo's outside.
