Jamesb Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this, so apologies in advance if it isn't. As per the title, I'm after some recommendations for respray work. I have some locos which I want work on which ranges from weathering to full resprays and would appreciate any and all comments regarding positive or negative experiences. I'm asking as I've never used a professional service to respray locos before and I'm a little wary about picking somebody at random. I appreciate that some people may not want to offer feedback in public, especially if it's negative, so private messages are fine. Nothing underhand going on, I just want some decent feedback on who to use! Many thanks, James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matti8 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Hi, I know how you feel. I'd hate to comission work from someone that I never seen work from. I would recommend checking out https://shmodelmaking.co.uk/ Haven't used him yet (probably will soon) but I have seen his work and it looks very good indeed. His website portfolio isn't up yet so you can see his work on Instagram @shmodelmaking. Matti 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted November 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 18, 2020 What scale and what models? An O gauge steam loco is a different beast to an N gauge diesel! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, yes very good point! 00 gauge, late 80s to mid 90s diesels. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Theres a few here that do commissions. Check 'squirrel rail' here or Bens resprays or Blueeighties. Think they should be able to help you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainlinefreighter58 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Ben Cambridge at Bensresprays on here did a CL67 for me and i was impressed with the results Edited November 18, 2020 by Mainlinefreighter58 adding relevant link 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndon Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Lee at Lee's Locos does excellent work: He's done a couple of jobs for me over the years and I have been very happy. I do think he is concentrating more on O gauge these days though... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I don’t think Lee does anything other than O gauge now, and certainly very booked up months ahead. I’ve been especially impressed with squirrel rails quality on here, the finish and attention to detail is excellent . Grimy times stuff I’ve seen is also good. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelsteadLane Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I'd recommend Squirrel Rail and TRS Trains. Squirrel Rail can be found on this by simply searching him. TRS Trains is on facebook. Both done work for me I was happy with and i'm a fusspot! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
