I've put a spray of gloss over the cab side and tender side so that the transfers would slide. I had the usual fun and games trying to get 5 numbers to line up and sit square. The spraying has also just 'lifted' the colour slightly so it doesn't look quite so matt and uniform. I also got around to fitting the balance weights on the driving wheels and painting the rims which greatly improves the overall look.
I've got a couple of pictures from Colour Rail to help with the weathering.
I've spotted something missing from the kit which I think I need to do something about. The rear wheel of the bogie seems to have a very visible splasher curving around the rear of the wheel. This is missing I suspect because trying to put one in the kit suitable for OO would foul the driving wheels. I'm presuming this was fitted the bogie rather than the main frames?
