The soon to be Backworth No. 6 when the transfers arrive. I remember this loco well from my youth and saw it many times at Backworth. It's the bog standard Dapol/Hornby with RT models injectors and extended cab steps. I would have liked to have changed the hand rails, but threading hand rail knobs is a thing of the past for me. No 6 was finished in Navy Blue livery, which can be faintly seen under the grime, although in truth it was always a well turned out machine.

The walls are Slater's 7mm. I sprayed them with Halford's grey primer (rattle can), then painted with Vallejo Tan Yellow, finished off with a wash of Citadel Nulin Oil. I hope that is useful, It's quick and easy! Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated,
