Axlebox Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Why not spend sometime on the Lickey incline, plenty of 16 tonners to keep you amused...and its not often you get to see what colour the railways actually were in the 1950s...I'd make your cup of tea first as may be here sometime.

w124bob Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 The last Airfix/Dapol 16 tonner I built didn't get a grey base, I just painted the entire thing dirty black/brown. Then worked backwards by first removing some of the grime, dry brushing shades of (artists oils) grey onto the now patchy looking wagon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks about like my paint drawer, started when I used to paint camo patterns on aircraft kits with my son over 30 years ago. Those tinlets were good quality back then and can still be revived if they've been properly closed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
