Yorkshire Engine Company Janus - model and prototype


Recommended Posts

This is one that I have been commissioned to repaint and weather. It has been done in the style of the British Steel Shelton locos, in their last years, where the yellow paint had started to come off in places and show the green underneath.

Like the Janus and picked up a pair of PLA ones and etched Yorks, BTH & PLA # plates.

Idea was a quick job of enhancing them, but I have found the more you observe the models the more differences you find lol!

I have a pair if books now on PLA and see at least three PLA Janus liveries.

I decided from the photos of one livery that when they had the cast number plates they had white highlights edges to red front side steps and also likely red handrails too.

No idea how I am going to add six dummy headlights to each yet..

Interesting forum.

The figure standing next to the loco makes you realise just how huge the Janus was...

I stood next to one at RBR and felt pretty insignificant. I've never seen one running though, I should think it's impressive.

Scunthorpe and Hugh Janus... ...how on earth have I managed to refrain from making C&A jokes?
