TRAILRAGE Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Hello emte I believe its because Hornby have modelled it with the pipework Lagged with Asbestos. It would just need toning down as it wouldn't have stayed that clean for long. Hope this helps. Cheers Trailrage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Northroader Posted June 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2018 You can get a “copper” paint in the Humbrol range. I find with all the metallic paints, such as silver / aluminium, gold / brass, and the copper, that they have a fine grainy appearance which looks too “new”, and also doesn’t wear well. I tend to mix a paint using about half metallic paint with ordinary oil paints approximating to the colour. With a copper job try some orange and a touch of rust brown mixed in.
