Porcy Mane Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Loads of Scottish 16 tonners in this bit of film. As well as every other aspect of Railway operation including general, Fish and mail traffic. Also proves that it's not worth worrying about whether you've painted your wagons the correct shade of grey, or bauxite... Some just after nationalisation stuff at the end showing some decent LNER passenger liveries http://player.bfi.org.uk/film/watch-great-north-of-scotland-railway-films-1963/ Porcy Edited July 12, 2015 by Porcy Mane 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Now that film is amazing and as you say, the colour of the mineral wagons does vary somewhat, just as I've been painting some Bachmann ones to the lighter grey. Well spotted that man. Dave Franks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Now that film is amazing and as you say, the colour of the mineral wagons does vary somewhat, just as I've been painting some Bachmann ones to the lighter grey. Well spotted that man. Dave Franks .... not just the colours. But the variety of steel minerals. Did you see the mineral with the "diamond" pressed door as Graham Farish did in the 1950s (00) or the the diag 101 mineral. And the high proportion of later ones which appear to be quite new, presumably because so many were flooding out of Pressed Steel. And then there are the huge number of fish vans. It is so difficult to imagine BR needed so many new vans (we mistakenly tend to call all as Blue spot) until the cavalcade of trains on this film.

Could anyone enlighten on the signal indication at 14.28 appears to be ok both ways?, and also on the maroon (red?) coaches both clerestory and large-doored at 24.40 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
62613 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 The red coaches belong to one of the Royal Trains, I would guess; probably the LMS one. That would also account for the double heading by two very bulled up locos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted July 24, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 24, 2015 The speed of the goods trains bears observation too, some of the 'holier than thou' operating crews that think everything happened at a snails pace would do well to note! The long train of 16 tonners for instance....was it a V2, I don't have time to look back, but it was going a fair lick! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted July 28, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2015 OK Weathering evolution... Have seen some nice work with oils on here so thought I would give it a try Final step in a multi step process - remove wheels, initial overspray with dirty black, excess removed and residue pushed to edges as it dries. Then a spray with matt varnish. Then the oils - a tiny amount of burnt umber applied on cocktail stick and then spread with downwards strokes with a turps wetted cotton bud until happy with result Paint and refit wheels - job done! Really like the way the density of the rust fades away from the spot to the solebar as if carried by water run off Only another 100 or so to finish!

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 28, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hi, Phil. That 16 tonner really does look rusty. Rust that looks like rust! I will have to have a go myself. With best regards, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
