Guest WM183 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Also... I believe I am going to go with LMS / BR early, somewhere up north. Maybe in Yorkshire? I can get a Jinty RtR and have a loco to um, err... operate. Yes! Not play with! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Sometime after 1948. You can run stock still branded LMS and other wagons branded BR. I did this GW wagon (Dia O11) in that style: Note the black patches with BR numbering. The kit (ABS whitemetal) was given to me so I had no choice but to build it. I'm glad that you will do something other than GWR/WR, phew! Loco crest changed from early to late in 1956. Overhead 'lectric flashes cam in in 1960.

Yeah, I love BR standards and the Ivatt locomotives too, so decided to go up north a bit. I hope an Ivatt 2-6-0 is done in RtR sometime, but for now I'll get a Jinty and maybe try to find a good kit for a 4F? I do like the earlier large logo livery best on wagons, but I can still have some around like that - much like your GW open above! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I totally agree about the Ivatt 2-6-0, I'd love one as well but, as far I know, an RTR model is not on the horizon. Lionheart did talk about a BR standard 2-6-2T but things have gone very quiet. Will you put DCC sound in your Jinty? I recommend Digitrains and Zimo if you do.

Marshall5 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Bachmann Brass did a very nice Ivatt 2-6-0 and these turn up s/h fairly regularly. Considering that these are handbuilt brass models they change hands for not much more than a plastic Heljan Mogul. Re your wagon lettering - I don't want to spoil things but I doubt that any wagons with the 16" G.W. letters were still around in B.R. days. The 16" letters were replaced by small 4" G.W. in the lower L.H. corner from 1936. Some of the latter would, indeed, be around for several years after 1948. Hope this helps. Ray.

brossard Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Ray, the wagon pictured above is based on a picture in Geoff Kent's 4mm Wagons Part 1. No doubt taken in the 1950s. John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WM183 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I did my other wagon, my LNER van, in the pre 1936 livery. I hope this isn't too out of place for the early 1950s. I hate to repaint it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WM183 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Basecoating has begun! I will weather more over top of this, just did the first pass of weathering with the airbrush on the inside. I'll do more with some drybrushes and powders inside, and outside needs all the weather yet! Hopefully I can do justice to the kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WM183 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 All done! Here is my full 7mm "Layout" so far; one section of Peco track and two wagons, hehe. And a better one of the sides in natural light Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 A lovely job on the weathering. What's with the van roof? More scariness, you also use the same CA as me. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WM183 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hi John, Some van roofs were covered in a tarry canvas stuff (not sure the name) and at times it could become patchy looking in places like that. There is also a stray strand of cat hair, because my cat is... a cat. =D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 That is what I thought. Cats are, well, covered in cat hairs. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
