RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted November 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) I’m looking at the cab window of the one on the left... is it me or does the glazing not go flush to the corner ? - must be a bit cold ? 25’s are scrapyard mongrels, none of them are the same.

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted November 28, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2020 Well if no one else is going to say it, the extent of the yellow at the bottom corner of the cab window is different, so on the right the yellow is wider below the cab side window Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that scale down in 4mm ? Really not worth thinking about and there always were variants in painting in the days before vinyl liverying. . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a large piece,m of model, 1/3mm doesn’t make a great deal of difference (in fact on my model of LH&JC No.5, the donor Bachmann’s 56xx chassis is out by 1mm on each of the rear two driven axles compared to a 56xx drawing, and it doesn’t really show), but on smaller details, 1/3mm can represent parts 2x bigger than they should be.

Paul Maybe fractions of mm in themselves may not be particularly noticeable, but when they pertain to a fixed point, ie, the window frame then the difference is a tad more obvious.
