Ydna Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Not a problem, I will get the camera out tomorrow and see what I can do for you, I may even have some already which I will hunt out for you. Thankyou very much for going to the trouble My layout is quite similar to this - with the trains arriving on scene from the fiddle yard under a bridge. However, my trackplan is quite different.

Ydna Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The 60 and 08 look great. Is that the old Hornby 60? Mainline's livery is one of my all time favourites - I've got the ancient Lima Class 37 in that livery I'm thinking of weathering it soon, for use on my layout. Do you use powders and dry-brushing for your weathering or the air-brush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi there Almere, the 60 is a newer Hornby dcc one it runs very smoothly and has a little added detail in the cabs, hi vis etc. As for weathering I have played around with different techniques, the 60 was done using an airbrush with a mix of rail match frame dirt and roof dirt n I basically give it a light cost across areas that would build up grime etc I then take it back off using white spirit working from prototype pictures to see we're the dirt is, then I shade it out with powders. But iv changed my technique again as you will see in the last few pages in my thread on the 37s using powders only mainly carrs powders building up the colours again using pictures as reference, I would love to see your results and will check out your project too. Thanks for the kind comments Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the kind comments Cheers I see, thanks for the info. I haven't heard of the white spirit method before, I'll be trying that out. As for my own project, I haven't even started laying the track yet. Thanks again, Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 No no no leave the cake it on wipe of with white spirit method alone. Its not how real trains weather!!! Mason has seen the light dont make me have to convince you too!! haha. Cav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks Andy, it's worth being carful with the process it can be very easy to over do it, I would check out Sandhills thread as he has mastered this kind of technique to a tee, and has a useful how to on his thread, I try and use the air brush really just for the frame n bogies now but as I say iv reverted to using powders only on virtually everthing with the results you see on the 37s. It's worth trying also rats of different techniques as you might find a combination of some work well and some don't, I hope that helps a little more, I am pretty much a novice at this still.

Ydna Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Just wondering, how did you make (what looks to be) the high-vis jacket hanging over the side of the brake van in these two shots from a previous update of yours? Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi Andy I basically drew it out to scale on a bit of paper, folded it up and soaked it in PVa glue and folded it and screwed it up a little then draped it over the side of the brake van very easy to do with very effective results 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mason Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Deeping lane depot will be next appearing at the deeping st James model railway show at st johns church deeping st James lincs, This is a lovely little show which is within a stones throw from my house and partially organised by the market deeping model club, it's a Two day show do if your in the area please pop in and say hello. A couple of jobs to do on the layout is to improve the fiddle yard which my dad pointed out on the last time out and do some more static grasses after cav's scenic lesson at Mansfield which really made a huge differance. Will post a few pics to when I get the layout out and up. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
