RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted September 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 30, 2020 What about....... My approach would be..... Weathering powders applied and sealed as per S.O.P then removed using car polish as per little 4mm hands using a cotton bud. Buffed according in a circular motion... Nice sheen, gunk left around rivets, orifices and crevices. Rob. 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I always look forward to seeing the result of your weathering. I'd go with an idea similar to Rob's, take some of the black off with t cut then weathering powders? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deffo get them to stick and seal them first then apply polish. A bit like the real thing. Get dirty, then clean. Rob. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few hours of pondering, and searching the shed for appropriate items, has produced a temporary construction that allows the playing of trains to continue and the weathering of them, too. The result has increased the height of the painting turntable from floor level, but that has proved to be perfectly acceptable. Of course, once that was in place, I had to check that everything was ready to proceed. Some time ago I read an article by @Giles where he had used water soluble oil paint to make a locomotive look used but cared for. I bought some of that material and then kept it safe for a few years. An urge to work on another Peckett came over me, so I thought I would give his method a try. First attempt has not quite produced what I envisaged, but there's plenty of scope for change because it is taking a long time to dry. This post is relevant to Modelling Real Locations because it is preventing me from doing it. Would the residents needed to push this loco up the hill to Easton or could it simply be attached by rope to the Merchants tramway and a load of stone launched downhill? You have mentioned rule 1!

RMweb Gold Popular Post Mick Bonwick Posted November 19, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2020 If this Peckett ever runs on Easton it will have arrived behind something slightly larger, probably a G6. It would have been put to work at Sheepcroft to cope with the tremendous output required for the major construction works taking place for the development of the Weymouth harbour area. The oil paint eventually hardened and the method of rubbing hard to work it into corners had produced rather a nice shine. Wanting to retain that shine or, at least some of it, the remaining work was done with a thinned MIG Dark Wash and MIG Black Smoke pigment. Small amounts of the wash were airbrushed on and then moved into corners with soft cotton buds, and small amounts of pigment were placed in areas where dirt would have buit up. The excess pigment was immediately blown away using the airflow from the airbrush. A wide flat (1/2") shader brush was used to drag this concoction downwards everywhere it was possible to so do. The wash was used on the pipework and underframe, wheels and motion to produce an oily but not too grimy surface effect. Of course, if this engine worked in a Portland stone quarry there would have been a lot of pale coloured dust present . . . . . . . 14 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he hasn't even mentioned the options for adding a fictitious branch to Mutton Cove (Also a location on the Island) and the various quarries out on West Cliff. The westside quarries were actually served by the Merchants Railway and a spoil dump was fed by an additional narrow gauge line.

Portland Sheep - a rare breed originally from the Island. In the genuine street names - Shepherds Croft West Wools Woolcombe Rd and a former quarried area named - Shepherds Dinner The above are genuine, but pushing it further we have another street name - Barley Croft aka Baarley Croft - coincidentally on the cliff top estate adjacent Mutton Cove. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
