The Tailor of Gloucester. Part Two. Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0 46526 of Gloucester 85B Barnwood Shed. Detailing a Bachmann Model.
Eventually I've completed my take on Gloucester 85B resident 46526 using the excellent Bachmann model as a starting point.
The DMR chimney has bedded in nicely on the smokebox. Pacific Models provided the source of the smokebox door number plate. A Fox Transfers 85B shed code plate transfer was applied as well.
Usual weathering techniques using Tamiya NATO Black/Brown airbrushed for frame dirt. A dusting of NATO black was used on the boiler top and tender coal bunker sides as per prototype photos.
Real coal was added to the tender and the cab roof buffed to give an element of wear and tear.
Crew once more were a combination of the excellent Hornby and Dapol/Airfix figures painted with Vallejo acrylics.
Detail painting and dry brushing using a mix of Vallejo and Citadel paints. The tender axle boxes and steps in particular.
Overall a lovely project using a cheaply sourced second hand loco. Just need to add some lamps from Modelu now.
One for the Forest of Dean Project representing that lost photo of 46526 taken at Bilson Junction by no other than Ben Ashworth. Or was it Jonty Jarvis and his trusty Thornton Pickard camera?
