Druid Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Having been nudged by Phil I really need to resurrect this build . I originally started this in 2008 how time flies . The original start can be found on page 8 of the archive under the Workbench forum. Updates as follows : Having obtained some parts from JLTRT last year current state of play : The indicator boxes are etches I had made and before any one asks these are the only ones and required a lot of fettling to get them to this stage as they originally came out to large . Hopefully I can push on and get it finished as 6354 as BFY. Regards Andrew 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druid Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 The light makes it look a bit patchy but it isn't. I used a tin of matt Rail Blue precision paint purchased in the early 80s along with the rail yellow so had kept very well. In retrospect I think I would use a satin or gloss in future. However this loco is going to get an end of service look so no to bothered. Andrew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34006 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I wont say that's just how I remember them,cos they were looking kind of old and worn out.I do think that green suited them better,and the colour certainly never seemed to fade so much. atb Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
