Can also add powders and shake it up to change a colour of a batch too 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted March 16, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 16, 2023 That looks really good Nick. Certainly looks like 'metal' sides - I think that the patina / colouration looks spot on. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Agree with the above, the discolouration of the metal sides looks great 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick G Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Turn the sound UP. I had a few fellow modellers posing and running locos on the layout on the Sunday at the MIOG show. 37425 belonging to Alan Cromarty making a spirited departure from the repair sidings with some wheel slip.

Thanks Nick, I have a Sherpa I repainted myself, my main enquiry was the source of the transfers as I ended up buying an SBT crew van in the end. I will PM you my email address as it would be great to k ow the source. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted March 26, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 26, 2023 Has that peak been turned into a single centre headcode? Although an obvious variation, I've never actually seen one done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
