Popular Post Andrew P Posted September 16, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2020 Still not content, I then dug out some second hand Rail, (never throw anything away) and added a couple of lengths and some more Sleepers between the running lines. Should look better once the PVA has dried. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might add some more bits of Rail, and I could possibly do with a couple of those Grey Lineside Boxes / Cabinets etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Santa. They did it in HO. Peter Clark Models do a basic kit but I know you don't do kits. Mind you Heljan are going to run out of stuff to do once they cover the 58 unless they go more modern or electric. I don't suppose the latter would sell well that said. They just announced an 02 shunter which looks pretty neat but not one I want to get. We can hope! Still hopeful for a Lion prototype or Kestrel Paul R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brossard Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Andy, I am in awe of your work. Also surprised you don't do kits. A note about weathering, I recently had a revelation from Jinty. He showed me the way with black enamel wash and I've been using that on a number of wagon builds lately. In short, splosh it on to the work, leave it to dry and then remove most of it with Qtips and white spirit (NOT enamel thinners). John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thanks John, Yes he told me the same and I've got a very clean 37, 37081, Loch Long, and another Loco in the pipeline to be done at some point. I do enjoy my weathering projects and used to do an awful lot of mainly OO stock for people and I've also done several articles for Railway Modeller on Weathering. Cheers again, I haven't tried his method yet, so looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am continuing to do that having just refurbished 7 pregroup wagons for a friend I do try to improve. There is the 20 waiting for it's weathering. Just waiting on ModelU to send me the driver. I'm not so famous as to have had articles in the mainstream mags although I have published several in our local BRMNA Journal.

34006 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Those opens look as good(bad?) as some at Chasewater,bits of ballast and other junk in the bottom,with weeds and young trees growing out of it all.You could add a few battered and splintered sleepers showing evidence of a "whoops,scotties "moment.Saw some down nearNeath a few years back,after a hiccup with a train of loaded hoppers...
