Thanks to the advise on this website I painted and weathered my Dapol BR (SR) CCT this afternoon.
I purchased the wagon from Trains4U earlier this year along with my Expo compressor. The mouldings are a bit 1970's to be honest with dreadfull W-Irons and springs etc. However the solebars were wide enough apart to fit a Bill Bedford sprung W-Iron between with only the minimum of filing. I was able to cut out the plastic leaving only the J hangers, spring and axlebox casting and then stick the W-Iron behind them. I rather pleased with the result and it fits in with the inter-regional nature of the parcels traffic around my mythical north-east London line.
Base colour is Humbrol 'Malachite' Acrylic with a very dilute wash of their dirty black over the top. Finally a spray with RailMatch Frame dirt.
