47606odin Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 This is what I am trying to recreate, within space constraints foreshortening things closer together, but the intention is so you can recognise the location with ease after sleeping on it overnight, I decided to lift the dirt off the corner of the building, and add more rust to the wagon body ends.....much happier 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted December 15, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) The missing blue barrell lets it down. Shame as not a bad effort otherwise I dont know why but some Heljan diesels seem to look better in liveries where the cab window area is dark. My green 33 just doesnt look quite right from head on whereas yours is very convincing. Edited December 15, 2019 by Hal Nail Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47606odin Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 Ooh, the class 50’s are out, I shall hold my wallet though and keep an eye on the totals available on my preferred retailers website, as the 33’s are out in January and I have 2 on order. the cromptons obviously being more important than the log, as rule 1 would have to apply to justify it being on depot as from all I can find on the net, one has never been on HG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
