Harry Detailed

Some of you might have seen in my status updates that I've been fiddling with Summat Colliery's resident shunter "Harry" this week.

 

He's received a small Stay Alive capacitor pack to his ancient Lenz Standard (not Plus) decoder and I've now turned my attention to the outside.

 

I started adding some real coal to the bunker, and then went a bit mad sprinkling coal dust and a few large lumps to the footplate.

Needs a quick waft with some matt varnish but I'm pretty happy with the improvement over Roomey's initial light weathering done all those years ago :)

Well,being that it's a Colliery layout it would be silly not to use real coal in the bunker, It's not as if they would be short of the stuff!

 

Still haven't got round to seeing your layout at a show. have you got anything up and coming?

 

Cheers!

What's happened to the Duke? Not seen any finished pictures of it yet.

Harry ran (almost) faultlessly at the Syston Show, most of the time i just left him crawling along on speed step 1 or 2, must have stalled maybe no more than 3 times all weekend :)
