Obviously you can do that, but lets not forget people buy weathered models because they feel uncomfortable/worried they will make a mess and spoil a good model, and theres a price tag for weathered models. Please dont pretend this "weathering" is acceptable. Its probably the worst effort ive seen of factory weathering.

That is simply horrendous. I’d cry if I ordered one and it arrived like that. What a mess. The mud smeared over the front and what’s happening with those head code boxes? Like others, I am so glad an alternative is going to be available. 66738 Edited March 4, 2021 by 66738 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of IKB Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Just seen the price at olivias ......£190 for the weathered version. hahahahahaha! Suttons 25 now the bargain basement option! I just hope i can do weathering as good, i suppose as long as i dont use LSD 15 minutes before i start, and as long as i hold the brush with my hand rather than use my feet, i should be ok.

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted March 4, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 4, 2021 I can't believe that is as sold by Heljan.

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted March 4, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Kernow MRC has posted a single panoramic photo on its Facebook page of most of the locos and their website has individual photos too, though notably without 25155 which is showing as still to arrive. Have they taken one look and sent them back...? I cannot believe Ben would have signed off that weathering as shown on Olivia’s website.
