Popular Post D1047 Posted June 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hi All. I thought it was about time I started up grading the not as glamorous of the hydraulics, my hymeks. This has meant applying the Shawplan etched numbers, something I have put of for a long time and improving on the weathering. After cutting out and filing any remaining tabs I applied some matt Vallejo acrylic varnish in a thin line ,placed the numbers and once they were lined up re-varnished to fix.Well worth the effort and not as fiddly as I feared.I have also added the jumper cable made out of 0.3 mm brass wire to add to the clutter of the front end and also fitted the behind the buffer beam air tanks .So far 3 done 4 more to go. happy modelling Greg 30 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy stroud Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 The trackwork, especially in that first Hymek picture is so yummy with all the oil stains etc. The Hymek dosent look too bad either! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post D1047 Posted August 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Another pic of D7093 the final hymeks in my revamp project,on the stabling point. Taken with my camera phone it allows for a low down more realistic pic , it also can be very unforgiving showing up any discrepancy as you can get a very close up shot .l have forgotten to paint out the D as per the prototype so this will be addressed. The buffers have came up, well simply treated with a soft leaded pencil after being painted the appropriate colours,a tip l was given by an RMWEB member.

DanielB Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I've gone through this thread from start to finish over the last couple of days. This has to be one of the most jaw dropping layouts I've ever seen, and with blue locos everywhere! Reminds me of my childhood. Speaking of, any HSTs, or is that too modern for the modelled timeframe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy modelling Greg Fantastic pictures of cracking locos! Whilst upgrading did you have any thoughts on the extra door grab handle that most acquired later in life ?Currently wresting with them on ours.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Daniel thanks for the nice comments .I do have a more modern tops fleet , mainly locos and stock l have worked on throughout my footplate career but unfortunately no HST set as they are not my interest. The pre tops period was a big part of my childhood and is of a time l have tried to create. Cheers Greg 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallaig1983 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Only just come across this thread via kier Hardy’s latest YouTube release. What great modelling and such inspiration. I will enjoy a decent in-depth read this evening. If I get to involved now I won’t get up in the attic. I’m always amazed at the fantastic layouts that I seem to keep discovering. Beautiful work. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
