Blog- Ullypug's tales from the tinking table - Lima Prairie end in sight

[RSS Fetcher]

Glad to report progress with the prairie at long last, to the point where it's progressed to the final painting stage.
The last bits and pieces have been added and the chassis now runs smoothly. Thank goodness!
Cylinders have been painted and the wheels and motion blackened. Think that'll need another coat though and I'll give the chassis a light dusting of grime too. I need to get some screw link couplings at Wells in a couple of weeks, along with a loco crew.
Both the prairie and the 57xx bodies have been given a few coats of black enamel, followed by a couple of coats of dullcote. A few layers of Klear before transfers, more Klear and then weathering. Still undecided whether to remove most of the gunk back or leave as is. Anyway, it's the final stretch now.
Feeling happier!
