More Painting and Weathering

Whilst I am currently painting and linning out Dave Holts excellent Caprotti Cl 5 I have been painting some of my own stuff, including this Bachmann Class 40. The body was built for me by Dave Room has Bachmann noses fitted to a Lima middle section. It has been sitting around unpainted for a few years so I thought I had better get on and finish it. Still nees weathering before I put the glazing in last.

I intend to use the loco on Trench Sidings and it has already had P4 wheels fitted. Th the headcode at one end is 1Z01 which is for an inspection saloon, and at the other end 6V20 which is the headcode for a Stafford to Cardiff freight. The livery and number is circa 3/1967. Just need to invest in a sound chip now.

 

I also paint and weather some US lbrass locos and here is the latest one.

Like the Class 40 - my favorite diesel locos. I've got one of the latest 6 axle drive Bachmann examples (in plain green) to convert using Penbits sprung bogies. Might be the next project after your 4F chassis!

I always knew that a photo would show up any imperfections, and in this case the nose end shot of the Class 40 shows the numbers are not quite level, b....r!

Will have to redo that end. I also like Cl 40s, I have 4, one circa 1962 ((green SYWP, disc headcodes), one with split head codes Green with LYWP , one in the earliest Rail Blue but with a D number, and the one at the top of this page.
