coachmann Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Years of experiencing difficulty in lining out some manufacturers etched coaches led me to giving this matter much thought when I came to etching my own. Initial test etches led me to adopt a certain width of raised panelling that would enable me to easily apply lining to it without the bow-pen falling off. On LMS coaches, two yellow and one black line has to fit on raised panelling. Whilst it worked for models in pre-1934 LMS livery, the 'beading' has always looked slightly overscale in my eyes when a coach has carried less elaborate livery such as unlined maroon or blood & custard. A friend of mine adopted scale width panelling from the outset on his LSWR coaches because they were not being lined out. I intend etching some non-corridor pre-grouping coaches with scale panelling for my BR-period layout so I thought webbers might be interested to see developments?

10800 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Yes, I would! My inclination would be to always go for scale panelling and beading, but then it's unlikely to be me lining them out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penlan Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 No wonder I can't find it in the Blogs then........ Would it have been better under 'Skills & Knowledge Centre> Weathering, Painting & Transfers' but that's only because I don't seem to get along with Blogs, and the search facility.... However I can see the Blogs keep all the subject matter together with this sort of Chaff hidden.. Penlan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
