(60011 has since been sold on to Mason of Deeping Lane 04/01/12)

 

This is one of those projects which seems to have languished on the workbench and in desperate need of completing. With a dedicated modelling space now in place outside in the shed I spent a couple of hours rounding this one up ready for its entry to service.

 

To break down the key steps I took in the weathering and modification of the model; I considered each of the parts which I wanted to achieve and then consolidate this in to a short list. . Prototype photo's are excellent in showing specific detail and weathering variations.

Here's a brief summary of the work involved:

 

  • Hornby 60078 base model- renumbered using Fox Transfers Mainline Pack.

  • Fitting of Lima 60 Air Horns

  • Driver figure complete with Hi-Vis Jacket hung up in corner of cab

  • Roof weathering through studying shot's of the loco in service- Mixture of washes with 33 Matt Black and 64 Light Grey with powders.

  • Chassis was tackled with 98 and Rail match Frame Dirt with a hint of Europe Dust and Black smoke powders.

From the photo's I've studied- 011's body side tended to be fairly clean- but I've added some dusting around where the Mainline Logo's are. Exhaust was also picked out in various shades of paint/ powders.

 

That's a basic run down of the work carried out to my model of 011, I'm sure I'll return to modify parts in the near future as creativity evolves.smile.gif

Chris it looks good - the chassis in particular!

Have you a link to a photo you worked from? I only ask because the 60s usually seem to streak from the roof panelling down the bodysides but not sure how noticeable this is on a Mainline 60.

Have you any better photos of the roof so we can see the fading/weathering? How is Stockwell road coming along - I don't think I've seen a thread/post/blog showing the plans or any photos of progress?

Hi James,

 

I used this photo from Paul Robertson's website- http://www.toton-rai.../60011toton.jpg

 

At foremost the actual roof colour on the model is technically wrong- rather than black should be a grey. I did find it quite tricky to get the washes consistent and to actually show that something had gone on! Couple of base coats first off -then 'Oil Stain'/ 'Black Smoke' powders on top. This loco was pretty clean most of the time- so no visible streaks really. I'll get some more snaps outside tomorrow of the roof. B)

 

Stockwell Road was a layout I brought off a fellow modelling friend a couple of years ago- currentley adding my personal touches to it while on the exhibition circuit. Toying with the idea of a adding a Mail Depot- RES 47's and some RES GUV's is ever so tempting.
