With that modern (1938 after all!!) cab it seems more balanced and purposeful than its predecessor.... Note. The strut laying on the platform slope has now been refitted to the signal box smoke stack...sort of fell of when dusting the roof. I can't remember but isn't a stack what we used to call a chimney or was it a funnel. Befuddled of the North. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 That looks to me just dusty enough for a goods engine without looking neglected. Is it one of the older Bachmann locos that's had the LM upgrade? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed, at this time in its life (1938) it would have been 17 year old so not in the realms of neglect yet......plus the GW held these locos in high regard for mixed traffic so would have been looked after....I've assumed! 3 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Judging by the photos available from the prewar period, despite being largely black and white, it's possible, in my opinion to tell the condition of the paintwork just by the level of gloss. For all his strangeness, Picasso is credited with saying: "I don't paint what I see, I paint what I know is there". Which applies to a lot of modelling I think. 3 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to get bogged down in prototypes. But quite often we're forced to make compromises in scope, in scale, trees are a good example. But of course colour is the main thing. For me it's often a case of the P-way (prototypical) vs My way, (what looks right from an artist's perspective).
