RBAGE Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Phil, Neither Russel (class 40) Saxton, of this parish nor Mr. Shawplan at Doncaster could shed any light on the colour of the traction motor blue line. The only advice was to add white to blue. I can do that. Anyhow, review of what photographs available of class 40's which are modified made me realise that my memory is as unreliable as I thought. The blue line is nowhere near as big as I remember. In fact, it's probably only about an inch wide and only just a bit longer than the 32 in D326. That being the case, at 0.33mm, the transfer option I probably not a goer. Probably the best option would be to line the loco directly with a bow pen using an approximation of the blue by mixing as advised. Do you have access to the requisite equipment? If not, do you have a deadline? If not, I will be in your local (not the pub down the road) at the end of April. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hi Phil, some great videos on here, particularly like the 20s whistling away. I was at Newbury last weekend and spent a happy few minutes just listening to a Hymek ticking over at Abbotswood. Thank you! Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Le Brun Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Phil took a well deserved break from operating Abbotswood to have a look at the other layouts at the Newbury Exhibition. He left it to the capable hands of his assistants but while he was gone prototypical operating took a downward slide and an intruder was spotted on the line. This little loco seems to appear regulary when backs are turned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tomlinson Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Phil, What period is your D15? Here's mine. This looks great. Is it a 44 with headcode boxes, or a 45 with a scribed door and respray? John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBAGE Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 It's a 44 with headcode boxes. I thought it would be easier to fit boxes than to cut a convincing door line in the body. Mind you, I did scribe the horizontal panel line that runs round the top of the nose. I wish I'd seen Phil's 1967 photograph. I might have done it in blue. That's still an option. Renumber this one because I do have evidence of a couple of the others in the north east and convert another to D15 in blue. I think the boxes are from Craftsman. The only trouble is that they stand a bit too proud of the body. OK until you stand it side by side with a Bachmann 45 with boxes. Thanks for the feedback.
