Popular Post RichardClayton Posted January 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2021 The hybrid Airfix/Parkside mineral wagon last seen on the previous page has acquired paint and transfers. After a few moments of frustration with white stripe decals, I decided that masking tape and blobby Tamiya white was the way to go. And here is a riveted cousin. Pure Parkside. Whoops, just noticed the lack of buffers ... 20 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted January 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2021 Nice modelling and weathering, but, you might want to revisit the braking arrangements and orientations. Mike. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardClayton Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Thanks, and it is entirely possible that I have missed something about brake arrangements in this long and excellent thread. I have followed the “brake gear and Morton clutch on the side with end door to the left” rule for as-built wagons, based on Peter Totman’s MRJ articles from way back. I could be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure this is consistent with most photos I have seen.

Not something I have consciously noticed before but the two tones in the grey suggests a patch repair and partial repaint of the new panel only.

The weathering technique is entirely traditional, and I claim no novelty whatsoever -- Halfords grey primer, paint with grey acrylic, leave to dry, apply a layer of dirt in enamels (Humbrol black, chocolate 98, and leather 62), leave to dry for a couple of hours, and then scrub off with a cotton bud dampened in thinners to get a flaking paint effect. Pick off all the cotton threads that get stuck everywhere, especially on rivets, and add some rusty highlights. If you go to http://www.emgauge70s.co.uk/model_omwb175.html and scroll down a bit then there are some much better examples of weathered mineral wagons produced by Pete Johnson, I think the rust colour on these wagons is spot on. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the Midland's Manchester/Sheffield route in the Gowhole area, near Buxworth Junction ? There's a photo in Scenes from the Past 16/2, Cheadle Heath to Chinley (E.M.Johnson, Foxline 1992) that appears to be taken from the same location, slightly higher up. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
