DelticChris Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Now many people will say that's not an 08 number and find fault but be gentle I'm new to railway modeling but thought I would share my attempt and changing the railroad 08 shunter from the train pack and I don't think it came out to bad let me know what you think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twright Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 That looks good. I did something similar some time ago but I used the wrong paint, didn't have the right transfers and now the chassis is broken so I may try again at some point. You could use a small amount of white paint and pick out some of the handles which would make it more realistic, look at a picture of one in BR Green and you should see what I mean.

Twright Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Also, are you going to put the body back onto it's old chassis or is it going on a more detailed/correct one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Jackson Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Looks superb, you done a great Job on her, I would take toms advice and paint the handles white to make it look more realistic. Any pictures of the ends please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelticChris Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Yes handles have been painted now and some detaling to front buffer beam and it's on the original chassis for now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelticChris Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 There we go all my attempt at a new paint job I feel this is some what more intresting than the very basic red and grey loco that Hornby made but set for a good base to start and a nice easy conversion for the younger less skilled modeler any more idears as to what I could add would be great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelticChris Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 And from the side I've left the wasp stripes on but this is somthink I feel really suits the 08 class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twright Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I would add glass to the windows and if you have the money to spare, replacing the chassis is a good idea - I've had the driving cog wear away twice on mine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelticChris Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Glass added as you can see in the picture I cut the big plastic steps off and replaced them with track pins bent and fixe in to give a more realistic hand rail just need a decent chassis to put her on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
