Plenty of threads on which airbrush to get in the weathering and painting area. Have to say its pretty brave using a rattle can. You can get good results using a brush and thinned paint with far more control and you can rework it if using enamels.

Baggies1961 Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Thanks Hal, agreed on the rattle can and think for locos at least that will be it. As regards the air brush there is no better way than gauging what people opinions are on what they have got and like so much so they would recommend one. As Andy P said if its only for weathering then it doesn't have to be gold plated. I have heard from what Iv read about compressors one with a gauge on it advised? Cheers Julian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read up quite a bit on here - as I say there are lots of threads with people's recommendations and why. I think weathering probably needs more control than just bashing on a basic colour and the gist certainly seems to be you get what you pay for both in terms of ease of use/cleaning and how long they last. I got put off though as I'm pretty happy building up grime in washes and dry brushing and by the time you add in the cost of a decent mask and spraying booth/fan etc I could go and watch Albion lose 20 times. Actually now I put it like that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also check out David = Jintyman/ @Jintyman. He only uses an Air Brush sometimes to finish off or seal powders and paints applies with a Brush. His main method is to coat a Body in grime, let it go hard, and then wipe it off for stunning results like this.

Baggies1961 Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 I purchased some fencing to run alongside the goods shed. This will also be installed on the boarding at the front of the signal box. At the moment it is resting on the speed restriction sign. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 Hi Paul, I am indeed but cant figure out why the lights dont switch over when in ‘consist’ mode. Would be even better if both were in sound. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
