So a decent update on some of the projects I have on-going. I have this week off so should achieve a lot, fingers crossed.

first up 57305 and the first barrier coach are complete (50% of the train I’m modelling), all detailing done and weathered.

Loads of details added and scratch built on the coach. The second coach and loco are coming on nicely!

Some other locos have been back to the workbench for their final detailing and weathering. I tend to find that most the first ones I did I’m not happy with and they require more work which happens on the second off layout visit. Trying to nail all the new locos first time from now on.

56087 has had some coupling attention and further weathering enhancements.

66745 has had lots of detailing doing such as removal of Europorte circles and writing, detailing of lights and end painted over as per prototype. Also cab detailing, further weathering and painting of wheels and pickups! Being done on all locos now.

Colas 66846 has also had the extra details doing similar to GBRF 66745. Now looking well used as per the real loco.

Also bought myself a WCRC 37248 in a mad rush only to realise after purchased that it’s a 37/0 and won’t renumber/nose change for any other WCRC 37, doh. eBay beckons for this one now it’s weathered.

Finally for today (will definitely update tomorrow again) we have 67004 in DB livery, a complete repaint from a Caledonian sleeper 67004. Fitted with Legomanbiffo sounds and detailed with driver added and loads of other bits and bobs done, obviously weathered. This will be kept busy on the MOD trains on Badgers Cross.

Also I have weathered my first 2 Revolution JNA wagons. Stunning model and when weathered they looks amazing. Just need to do the other 13 now. More will be done this week.

Top stuff Andy, great work. The weathering is superb with the barrier coach patch painting and details like silver lights on the shed. Now all you need is a RTR shiny new unit to put between the coaches!

Thanks Jack. I do indeed but think I will be waiting until the Accurascale Transpennine Express MK5’s get delivered. For now they will be a lightly loaded pair of locos.

A few more updated locos and wagons.

GBRF 50049 has been back to the work bench for a few tweaks. It’s fitted with Hornby TTS sound with a roads and rails large square speaker and sounds great for a total of £46, bargain. 

Also Colas 37254 has been back for the start of its hand weathering. The airbrush aspects will be done at the weekend.

I have also done the hand weathering of another 10 Revolution box wagons, leaving only 3 to do. Again these 10 will get the airbrush treatment at the weekend. I have also purchased a full set of loads for these. Going to look great when complete. 

This weekend I will also complete my other barrier coach, ROG 47813 and Colas 37521.

Also started the next couple of locos.

Just come across this thread, and i must say your work is very good. BUT

your model of 37248 is very nice, but the front nose light should be a lot lower

and should have a headboard iron above the  old route indicater box.

It’s the standard release Bachmann product Ray! I bought it in error and merely weathered it and sold it on. Not mine anymore.

Maybe you could email Bachmann and point out the error of their ways.

Sadly a bit late now, an email would fall on deaf ears as this model was released a while ago, Bachmann can't cater to every detail variation as nice as that would be

I know it was released a good while back Nick.

My reply was tongue in cheek!

Of late I have been very busy but mainly with buying stuff and lots of weathering. Below is some of the stuff I have been working on. 
I have completed a rake of 7 TTA aviation fuel tanks to replicate the Prestwick flow. All individually numbered and detailed. The end wagon has been detailed with tail lamp etc. That’s are also weathered and really look the part.

Also completed the weathering 4 of my MXA wagons, 2 graffitied Freightliner HIA’s, the first 3 of 18 Accurascale PCA’s,  various coaches and an RBA wagon.

Locos now complete include a Heljan 33, Colas 37521 and DB 60044.
Lots of work goes into the hand and airbrush weathering of the above including lots of individual detailing of each item. 
The DB 60 has TTS sound, wire loop couplings with detailed buffer beams, painted interior details behind grills, bespoke transfers and very bespoke weathering. 

Hope you enjoy the update. All

work including graffiti is by my own fair hand.

Excellent work as always Andy. 

 

I particularly like the graffitied Freightliner HIAs and the weathered Colas Rail 37521. 

 

I am hoping to buy the Bachmann Colas Rail 37521 when it is reduced to less than £145. It's too much to pay now for the old Bachmann tooling when Accurascale have launched some of their first batch of newly tooled Class 37s.

I wasn’t going to pay the Bachmann price for 37521 so got a cheap (£80) 37421 off eBay, changed the noses and removed the roof mounted horns. Sold the old noses for more than I paid for the flush /5 noses. 

I love a bit of modelling.
