Broadoak Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 As a child I remember one of these delivering sacks of logs in winter it was a Canadian Ford. It belonged to Fair ground operator who wintered at a nearby farm. I rather like its chunky purposeful look. Photos Peter M Peter M 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernBlue80s Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Just now, johnd said: The weathering/paint work is great but were are the dents and bashes that go along with general use of the wagons ? Now there is a real challenge waiting to be produced with RTR wagons ! True. I am awaiting RTR wagons with dents. I have tried melting wagons to get dents without too much success. I have seen the melting technique work on O gauge wagons. I guess it helps that there is more material to play with. I couldn't get it to work on OO. I could not get the heat concentrated in specific place. However if I perhaps took a soldering iron to the inside of a 16t perhaps I could get it work.

Now there is a real challenge waiting to be produced with RTR wagons ! It's like certain other features of a weathered, decrepit railway, such as ripples and dents along the side of a diesel or rickety track in a colliery yard, if you modelled that in 4mm, even if you were very, very careful, odds are that it wouldn't look right (just my view). It's a bit like mortar lines in 4mm brickwork. The eye expects to see an indentation, whereas if correctly scaled down, there'd be virtually no indentation, leading to the conclusion that brickpaper is just as effective. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JZ Posted March 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Diorama I've put together. It will find it's way onto the layout at some point. Main building is a Bar Mills kit, the small forge is Wills and the pick-up is Oxford. Needs a couple of figures and a bit of weathering to the dirt road.
