First update in a long while - I've hardly had any modelling time at all ...
However, I got the Dapol 153 detailing project I started a while back finished off. In the end I didn't manage to remove the glazing, so left the incorrectly placed silver framing for now. The rainstrip was removed from over the cabs, and the snowploughs scaled down considerably, as well as painting over the very silver exhaust with some Phoenix "Frame Dirt". I also fitted a Bachmann cheapo 6-pin DCC chip, which works fine.
The whole model got a general toning down with assorted weathering colours, with particular emphasis on the underframe, snowplough, and also the buildup of grime which seems to appear around the top of the corridor connector.
While is more I could have done (windows, attacking the underframe "box") - I'm happy with a much improved model!
Also, I finished off the renumbered Dapol 86 with one of the new pantographs, a coat of satin varnish to blend in the new numbers and 'plates, as well as a light coat of grime to tone down the underframe only. One day I'll get around to giving it a more comprehensive weathering!
