Thanks looks very nice, you've captured the colours very well. Tell us more; what techniques did you use?

Thanks Mark.

 

It's just Enamels, applied in various ways and states of thickness with cotton buds, cocktail sticks and brushes.

 

I did this one about 15 years ago actually.

 

Cheers,

 

Eddie.

Michael's link has me looking through the 53A collection again.  Couple in colour:

 

07/1966 - Hedon, East Yorkshire.

21/09/1974 - Crossley Evans Scrapyard, Shipley, West Yorkshire.

Hope we haven't had before, I don't recall them.

I particularly like that Hedon photo'. Very local and interesting, and also sad to see the railway so derelict after closure of the line to traffic except a small number of freight trains. The mineral wagons are paticularly rusty!

 

With regards,

 

Rob.

A few more from 53A:

 

c.1966 - Sculcoates, Hull.  Odd rust shape - accident damage?

12/10/1981 - Tinsley East Junction.  Not much paint.

24/03/1979 - South Yorkshire Joint.  Oops!

There are more but I would think we've had them before.  Apologies if any of these are reposts.

A couple of pics from me.

This first one was taken in September 1986. Can anybody guess where it is?

This next one was taken at Perth in August 1988 which I reckon was fairly late for 16 tonners to be running on the main line. Not sure when they were last ever used on BR.
