Pete S Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I have a K's Jubilee and would like to do Silver Jubilee, Anyone have any ideas how the chrome plating on the dome etc. could be represented? Thanks Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daltonparva Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 It didn't have a dome when it was chromed up. Don't give it one like Bachmann did. I was hoping they were going to do it again but properly to coincide with their own 25 year anniversary, but life is full of disappointments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete S Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thanks Branwell that video looks very interesting. The dome was an oversized top feed cover unique to Silver Jubilee when built. It's now looking more feasible. Many thanks Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45609 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'd suggest Alclad 2 http://alclad2.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted August 25, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 25, 2014 The dome was an oversized top feed cover unique to Silver Jubilee when built. It's hard to tell for certain as it tends to overexpose in photos, but it looks pretty much like the standard top-feed casing carried by domeless Jubilees.

Pete S Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm going by the photo and caption on page 33 of Stanier 4-6-0's at work which states:-the top feed cover on this engine was unique in being a larger than standard dome without separate clackbox covers. The photo is credited to E.R.Wethersett/Real Photo's 24400. Keep the ideas coming Thanks Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted August 25, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 25, 2014 Ah - I assumed the reason I couldn't see the clackbox covers in photos was just overexposure against the black loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norton961 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I can only reinforce the idea of using Alclad paint. If you struggle to find a supplier then Little-cars are stockists and they do postage. Alclad metallic finishes are highly rated by the aircraft and model car fraternity and well worth a try.

Pete S Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Thanks for the suggestions, I have ordered a sheet of the foil as I don't get on with spray paint. If that is not successful I will give the spray a go as a last resort. Many thanks Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
