RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted January 2, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2, 2014 Just a few little jobs to do now, paint the wires black/hide them, add a bit of coal to the bunker (tank top left hand side) a bit of weathering and fit couplings. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2750 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Very smart Paul. That looks lovely. I look forward to seeing it pottering around at the York Show possibly? Or at Ormesby Hall? I see you are down for the Model Railway Weekend, I'm going to be there weathering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class O Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Just a few little jobs to do now, paint the wires black/hide them, add a bit of coal to the bunker (tank top left hand side) a bit of weathering and fit couplings. IMGP8822-001.JPG IMGP8821-001.JPG IMGP8820-001.JPG IMGP8819-001.JPG That is absolutely amazing, superb paint job and details, well done. Looking good a nice job, the red cab interior looks good. When we were restoring the Q6 & J27 at Thornaby we found both were red inside, The best match was tile red floor paint. I have used American dark box car red on my models to good effect. Keep up the good work, hope to meet up at some show soon....:0) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted January 5, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hi All, Thanks for all the comments, next I am getting back to trackwork on Greyscroft followed by quite a bit of rewiring and resignalling due to the crossover being moved onto the next board. Next outing is at Birtley at the beginning of March so best get on! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted April 27, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27, 2014 Class F8 No 420 is becoming Class A... Re-gauged to EM and in the process of repainting, the green on the body is complete, there's quite a lot of the green that needs to be painting black, footplate, smokebox etc, then the wheels need to be green. Then the fun bit - lining! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted April 29, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2014 What shade of NER? Green is it ? Never seen anything that bright Paul,is it Cherry Paints NER (Saxony) green? It's Precision Paints P525 NER Loco Green, compared to other models and the panel in North Eastern Record it seems a bit on the blue/deep side, it probably needs to be paler/yellower.
