ellocoloco Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I have just finished my latest HO scale Class 66, this time using the ESU model to recreate GBRf 66783 'The Flying Dustman'. Previously I had used Mehano models as a base, but the ESU one was easier to disassemble than I expected and, of course, runs great and has all the toys - sound, smoke, brake sparks, sprung buffers and a diecast body. I used Railmatch 210, Humbrol 85 and Rainbow Railways*, @MRDBLUE17, GBRf orange and red. Decals were once again from @railtec-modelsand really look the part. It runs really well and is overall a better effort than I made with 66789 and 66301. * This was the first time I had used Rainbow Railways paints and I was really impressed with the finish I managed to get with them. 9 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellocoloco Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Rainbow Railways is a supplier of custom resprays and now retail shop. They offer a range of paints in both enamel and acrylic. Mostly modern era and good value for money. https://rainbowrailways.co.uk/product-category/paint-varnish-thinners/rainbow-railways-paint-range/rainbow-railways-water-based/ https://rainbowrailways.co.uk/product-category/paint-varnish-thinners/rainbow-railways-paint-range/rainbow-railways-enamel/ I got some extra when I was there for the GBRf colours for whenever my next project starts.

RMweb Premium 47137 Posted September 9, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 9, 2022 Andy I am so glad the loco still runs well after all of the dismantling and reassembly you have had to do, and it looks excellent in its new livery. Well done. - Richard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
