This is what I am referring to: https://flic.kr/p/dSg49h thi 2011 is the date stamp on my pic. However a late 90s enterprise example is absolutely what I'm after anyway so thanks for posting that, and I guess a transaction with Rails is in order! Fox etc will do me some CAIB decals? C6T.

What approach did you use for the white weathering? very convincing. edit: I should also add, I assume the printed branding came off without too much difficulty? bodes well for removing the Nacco/Tiger branding from my grey example once I finally get round to ordering it.

Branding came off very easily with IPA. Have a look on my layout thread in my signature, everything I used is listed there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium SHerr Posted April 16 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 16 Can also be done in OO with cut and shut of the European shorties using Barrowmore page to get dims right, though I never finished underframe or bogies. I painted Grey TSL livery at the time as no transfers then. I'm certainly no mega scratch or kit builder and it wasn’t as hard as I feared, was lucky in finding 2 cheap ones on eBay. 6 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
