My last ever Jubilee - Well my last two ever Jubilees

Well a couple of weeks ago, with the full permission of the fantastic Domestic Overlord I managed to add another crimson jubilee to the fleet, by rescuing her from Evil Bay at a very reasonable cost.

 

She sat at the back of the workbench of doom for a couple of weeks while I got on with a few other jobs and decided on which identity to allocate to her, well the waiting is over, her identity has been chosen and her numbers applied.

Now this should have been the last Jubilee to enter the fleet, and at this point I should have been thinking about maybe applying a little weathering, a crew etc. Surely nine is enough Jubilee's for anyone, but I have sort of slipped up, to be fair though I was acting on a mission of mercy. I don't know why people keep doing it, as its seems totally wrong to me, but they keep turning up in terrible BR liveries.

So purely for humanitarian reasons I found this poor lady on Evil Bay and for a mere £40 I just has to save her, by adding her to my fleet, a couple of minutes work on her chassis saw her running as sweet as a nut, so they just left her terrible Green coat.

I good application of grey undercoat, to my eyes was already a vast improvement to the Brunswick green I found her in and provides a good foundation to the final finishing coat. A little work with my trusty rattle can, and this time all the paint actually covered the loco and not my hand, or the wall, or the work bench and she is ready to have her black bits applied, and then lining :( that is if my hand spasms will stop long enough to let me, this could be a long wait.

One thing though this is definitely my last jubilee, and I mean it, no matter how cheap they are I don't need anymore, that would just be silly and greedy, so until the next time as ever Happy Modelling :)

A very long time ago a peco jubilee was the first serious N loco I had. The ones before it were lima and minitrix. 

 

N has come a long way since then, if I had the room I would love a big watching the trains go by type layout.

Great minds think a like, I have pans for a layout like that when we move house, somewhere I can let the loco's stretch their legs

Yet another successful rescue story, hopefully one day the blight that is BR livery will gone from the world entirely! :D

 

I'm doing my bit to get rid of the horrible BR liveries, but its not an easy task, that's the only reason I have collected so many Jubilees honestly :)
