  1. Thanks James, would that just be brush painted on in a light coat?

     

    Still a couple more things to tackle on this one, lowering the body is a must after looking at these photos! When time permits, I will look at replicating the pipework along the underframe.

     

    Will endevour to take some photos of Stockwell Road tomorrow when the sun is hopefully shining, quite for posperity now the layout is up for sale.

  2. Chris it looks good - the chassis in particular!

    Have you a link to a photo you worked from? I only ask because the 60s usually seem to streak from the roof panelling down the bodysides but not sure how noticeable this is on a Mainline 60.

    Have you any better photos of the roof so we can see the fading/weathering? How is Stockwell road coming along - I don't think I've seen a thread/post/blog showing the plans or any photos of progress?

     

    Hi James,

     

    I used this photo from Paul Robertson's website- http://www.toton-rai.../60011toton.jpg

     

    At foremost the actual roof colour on the model is technically wrong- rather than black should be a grey. I did find it quite tricky to get the washes consistent and to actually show that something had gone on! Couple of base coats first off -then 'Oil Stain'/ 'Black Smoke' powders on top. This loco was pretty clean most of the time- so no visible streaks really. I'll get some more snaps outside tomorrow of the roof. B)

     

    Stockwell Road was a layout I brought off a fellow modelling friend a couple of years ago- currentley adding my personal touches to it while on the exhibition circuit. Toying with the idea of a adding a Mail Depot- RES 47's and some RES GUV's is ever so tempting.
