RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 12, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 12, 2017 All 6 painted in the base colours Still some tweaking across the ridges, but based on previous experience with Colas livery on a 66, it'll be two or three goes with the masking tape and fine brush.

Easily made form one of the Hornby catering vehicles with one window altered. Cheers, Mick 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 18, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2017 The big orange project rumbles on. Thanks to Steve at Railtec for the quick delivery of some slightly taller Colas Rail Freight branding. The ribs swallow up quite a bit of the height. Not helped by the Lima and Hornby models having different depth ribs, meaning that the replacements had to come in two different sizes...... I've also made a start on the cantrail stripes with Replica Railways transfers. Still lots to do including tidying up the black lines for the lower window panels. In the meantime, 47749 is catching back up after it was sidelined at the pale yellow stage after noticing that I hadn't filled in the bodyside footsteps.....

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 18, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2017 Still applying lost of decals to the 67s (and 60) Whilst waiting for them to dry off a bit, I've carried on with another related project. Using my silhouette cutter, I've made these. They are about 4mm x 3mm And this is one in place. Cheers, Mick 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 21, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 21, 2017 Another evening of applying decals to the 67 project. Also made a start on the smaller painted details - lamp irons, MU connectors etc Hopefully some pics tomorrow. Cheers, Mick 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted March 26, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2017 thats odd, looks like someone has peeled the decal off and tried to refit it higher up (you can see the old outline below the logo) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 29, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2017 Much fine detail and touch up painting of the 67s, so nothing spectacular to show yet. At least 47749 has caught up to the rest of the orange project. Hopefully, pics in the next couple of days. Cheers, Mick 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 31, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2017 Nearly there. A bit more touching up and final small decals to be added before reassembly with handrails, glazing etc. For some reason, the photos seem to accentuate the grooved sides and angled lines. Taken a bit longer than planned but quite looking forward to their public debut in a few weeks on Deadmans Lane. Cheers, Mick 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
