RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted June 9, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 9, 2013 Here is the pictures of my reassembled mk1 buffet respray. For my first attempt I'm quite pleased with it but I hopefully will be able to do better next time. Stil have to weather underframe and bogies and apply waterslide transfers and then dullcote the lot. Can you let me know what you think please. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty11 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Nice job! Only improvement I can think off is maybe a touch of black on the bogies but the finish of the coach is excellent! Nice job Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only improvement I can think off is maybe a touch of black on the bogies but the finish of the coach is excellent! Nice job the bogies should be black that is unfortunately some oversprsy from painting the solebar of the coach will be giving them a black spray before weathering to get rid of yellow protecting new paint job with card and masking tape 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Goldfish Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Looking good big man. I'll be testing your straight line ability with some nse re-paints soon! You may have already covered it but what have you used to fill your windows? (And if you just 'filler' i will slap you on Monday) Need to fill some holes on stock and not sure what i should be getting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Goldfish Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Seeing a coach in the flesh, i can honestly say the paint job is fantastic!Onto more childish things, the yellow BAAs for the 'Plympton Grange' to 'North Quay*' steel service have left Plympton and are seen here in amongst the rest of the wagons forming the service on their way crossing play-time viaduct. The usual steels sub-sector 37 was absent (I haven't bought one yet) so an RfD pair were filling in. The service is also waiting for a couple of curtain sided bogie steel carriers but a VGA and Cargowaggon are filling in until they arrive. There's also a pot of Railfreight red paint waiting to back date some of the BAAs.There was a sensible purpose to this too honest, i wanted to see how long it would be for future use. The train pictured here is 8ft long with 2x 37s but It's short 3 wagons which i couldn't fit on and that would bring it up to 10ft in length. *I'll start a 'North Quay' thread as soon as i've finished the current batch of 'Warren Lane' projects.

Satan's Goldfish Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) How about a combination od Peco N and OO girders? Don't they come in packs of 4 too? Edit: there's something about the perspective in the second picture that works really well. Can't put my finger on it though.

Satan's Goldfish Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Without wanting to hi-jack your thread Phil, thought you might be interested in the back-dating of 3 of the 4 BAAs recently transfered from Plympton.As from what i hear there was only 1 BAA with yellow ends and the Railfreight Metals logo ever running, the cradles and wagon ends have received 2 coats of railfreight red and the RF Metals logo has been gone over with a black marker. They could do with some older 'Railfreight' red logo transfers to complete them and some different wagon numbers but for now i'm quite happy with them. a good heavy weather will hopefully make them less shiny.For comparison if it helps anyone i've added the other version with yellow ends of the BAA but without RF Metals logos at the back with the VTG Ferrywagon. There's a couple of other minor differences between them like the extensiveness of the yellow on the ends and cradles and numbering positions on the side.Would be interesting to see them along side Bachmann's RF red BAAs to see how well i did :-)Laters Edited June 21, 2013 by Satan's Goldfish 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
