RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted July 21, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2017 Easch wagon seems to have different width yellow strips. We had a couple of sets in work this week and I think each wagon was different! Jo I'm working from a set of pics I took at Toton, where the yellow is bordered by the original Blue stripe. I like the 'not quite as much Yellow' (sorry Mick !!) look of them, instead of the wider Yellow stripe as seen on some. But as you rightly point out, the stripes do seem to have been randomly applied !! Cheers, Phil. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradfordbuffer Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Another couple of easy wins. Just a bit of detail painting, and adding the metalwork. I even hung the shackles up for BradfordBuffer Nice to see you're hanging you shackles correctly.... G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I reckon the middle one in the picture of three together is a juicy ex Carillion one. Other mods undertaken along with the yellow striping is a new yellow generator has been fitted, new data panels with NR instead of GERS prefixes, yellow or white edging to the hopper chutes, overhauled bogies and fresh paint on the yellow and white details like handbrake wheels, ferry tie downs etc Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Well that's the first one I've seen without a new genny - proof to always model from prototype pictures!

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted July 23, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2017 That looks far too clean. Look forward to seeing the weathered result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted July 23, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) The Yellow was glossy enough to put the transfers straight onto it. So NR transfers & new electric flashes added, Yellow & White details cleaned up/repainted, followed by a coat of Matt varnish. Bit of exhaust dirt from the generator, & that's about it !! Might live with them for a while before deciding whether to add a bit of 'frame dirt' to the Yellow. Cheers, Phil. P.S. The extra weathering added at the start of this was done by a new technique to me. I airbrush covered the entire wagon with the rusty brown colour, then switched to clean thinners & blasted most of it off again. I then dried it using a hairdryer, because I was concerned the thinners might attack the printed detail if left wet too long. Kinda like an airbrush version of the 'wipe-on wipe-off' method ! Do we think it worked ??!! Edited July 23, 2017 by Phil Mc 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted July 23, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2017 That's the plan !! Although the Yellow isn't quite as wide in the pics I've got. Cheers, Phil. Some of the ex-Carillion liveried JJAs have the thinner yellow band - 12909 and 12910 spring to mind. Recognisable with the two blue bands above the yellow. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dan700/26919066464/in/photolist-9UWAPU-QCdtXV-H1KfBA-t8bXXj-vHXv9G I really must get on with my JJA to HQA project.

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted September 11, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11, 2017 After what seems like ages away from the workbench, I've finally started the next project. It feels like I haven't done a complete loco repaint for a long time, so here goes ! These 2 are going to be 33101 in Departmental Grey, and 33102 in Blue. I realise that Heljan have produced these same locos in the same liveries, but the headlight on the models narrows down the options a bit, and they were a bargain at £30 each !! I could get rid of the headlights, but I quite like the look of them. Cheers, Phil. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted September 12, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 12, 2017 Spent a pleasant evening yesterday taking part in some mild destruction work. Ended up with 2 loco bodies & a big pile of bits. Also added the curved pipe under the headlight at each end of what will become 33102, & touched in the lampbrackets with primer.

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted September 16, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2017 30 quid each......? Wow what a bargain, Barnsley market or on line.? G A local lad I know, who can't decide what area or era to settle on. Every so often I get a text asking if I want some of the loco's he's selling. My 57301 'Goliath' was originally Network Rail Yellow one I got from him (£30 again!), after seeing them on eBay, it would probably have been worth more if I'd left it alone !! Cheers, Phil.
