Dallam Sidings (Warrington) - N Gauge WCML 2001

Yes, surprised the RfD logos on the side have not gone a similar way. Cheers Simon -

Thanks Ben, I don't know why red lettering was used but I seem to remember this livery was a trial following on from 90130 in its SNCF livery. Cheers Simon -

Little renumbering job this weekend. Both the DVTs on Dallam have now received new identities, 82121 Carlisle Cathedral and 82135 Spirit of Cumbria, both originally numbered as 82125. Numbers are from Railtec and nameplates from Shawplan. These will both be weathered and detail added to the buffer beam. Cheers Simon -

90036 now ready for a coat of varnish. Numbers and orange cantrail stripes added (from Railtec). Hopefully start the process of carefully reassembling everything early next week along with fitting etched arrows and plaques. -

90036 is now starting to have transfers applied. Prior to this, several coats of Klear were applied. The RfD logo transfers are from Fox, overhead warning flashes are Railtec. Orange cant lining and loco numbers will be from Railtec (once I have ordered). This should be ready for Macclesfield show but will probably run as ex-works until time permits to weather.

Last of the paint applied to 90036, black added around the lights, grills and window surrounds. Next step will be gloss varnish before adding the transfers. -

90036 is almost there! The majority of airbrushing work is done. Various areas just need little touch ups before the varnishing can be done prior to adding transfers. Black needs to be added around the lights and horn grill. Cheers Simon -

I have finally managed to get some actual modelling done instead of playing trains!! I saw a Farish Freightliner class 90 on offer at TMC and decided to buy it for a respray project. The loco I have in mind is 90036/136 in its experimental Railfreight Distribution livery which it carried from 1992 to 2013, pictures from Flickr (not mine). 1992 1995 1999 The sides of the loco have not faded as much as the cab fronts over time. In the later years it did receive the EWS logo applied over the top of the RfD logo. I am modelling it as seen around 2001. Loco as bought: Stripped down Once all the original livery had been removed using IPA, the body was thoroughly cleaned and dried. White undercoat applied with airbrush. Rail yellow (RM202) applied with airbrush. Transfers from Fox, etched double arrows from Nairnshire Modelling Supplies and depot plaques from CJM will be added. Cheers Simon -

Hmm, that automatic coupler would be a good idea on a class 08.

I think class 08 given age, liveries etc. I did think Bachmann would have possibly redone at some point.
