millerhillboy Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 a couple of locos made the trip to the max stafford kennels and returned looking decidedly more 'lived in' then when they arrived. I'm absolutely delighted with how they've turned out as to my eye they just have the correct amount of road grime, both atop and bottom. firstly 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerhillboy Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) secondly a peak, with route indicators suitably changed, although not the best pictures showing that, pretty sure I posted front end pictures earlier in the thread anyway.

Our man's got his diesel distressing down to an art form, they look beautiful man! MHB likes the phrase 'diesel distressing'. You are right, they look better in the flesh as well. He's definitely got the knack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfisher24 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 its been a while since i have been on rmweb as work has left me very little time to do any modelling let alone surfing the net. anyway i have recently watched the right track dvd on weathering loco's and stock and have been 'bitten' and have had a go t airbrush weathering, starting with my Hornby b1 61347 seen here on newcastleton. the loco appears hauling an edinburgh bound freight on the ron white dvd covering the waverley and i am modelling the train that teh loco appears with in the shot. the weathering has come out rather well in my opinion, not bad for a first try anyway. i know that this thread is not about weathering but i have included teh shot below that shows my older Bachmann b1 leading which is weathered using a spray can and powders, and the newer loco behind showing the differant results. the newer loco has more brown in the mixture whereas the other is considerably darker. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite excellent if that is your first attempt, they both look really quite good quite frankly. Thing is you are only going to get better as well so stick in there with it.

Roy L S Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) I got my NGS Inspection Saloon today and couldn't resist a pic behind my 4MT on my little Whitrope Siding layout. Now I know this should be blue/Grey behind a blue Class 26 to reflect the the one run just prior to closure of the line, but what the heck I am sure they must have run on the Waverley Route at other times too? Incidentally possibly of interest to other Waverley Route modellers in N - EPs of the forthcoming J39 were on show in the Farish cabinet at Warley today.

'CHARD Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Daily from 1963, I'd wager! Read on... There's a folk-truth amongst devotees of the Baby Sulzers that dispels a myth, it runs like this: People tend to think that the 24s and 25s mixed indiscriminately in operation, likewise the 26s and 27s. However, the 1160hp machines tended to be allocated different duties to their 1250hp sisters. In Waverley terms, this was borne out by the fact that 24s and 26s were plentiful - mainly on Class 2 passenger and the express mail workings, whereas 25s and 27s were comparatively rare. There are exceptions to this, but based on depot allocation alone, 64B Haymarket had a decent allocation of 24s and 26s, no 27s when the route was open, and its mainly no-heat 25s rarely strayed from local coal and sundries trips working out of Millerhill, although most if not all of 7602-7 did work into Hawick in its freight only period. So, your 24 is pretty much signature traction on Waverley metals, and she looks WELL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium coronach Posted April 11, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 11, 2013 That's good to know. I've seen lots of photo's of the later batch of 24's with the headcode boxes but not a 'skinhead'. Good news is that Heljan are going to release the pilot scheme class 26 which I know ran on the route. I have avoided buying one of their current models because it is the later variant with post Waverlay era modifications. Daily from 1963, I'd wager! Read on...

RMweb Premium coronach Posted April 11, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 11, 2013 Regarding the photo, it is of course the Bachmann loco with the addition of lazerglaze windscreens and a bit of grime. I was surprised what an improvement the replacement glazing proved to be on an already good model. Any amount of weathering turns a plastic model into a 'working loco' in my opinion.

'CHARD Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Details of 64B diesel workings over the route can be found over on my blog. Class 24s here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/585/entry-4025-fruit-machine-jackpot/ and Class 26s here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/585/entry-4045-smethwicks-finest-other-products-of-b66-available-that-may-or-may-not-be-considered-quite-this-fine/ Dave 'Max Stafford' and I have both hacked Heljan 26s around to represent the definitive '60s /0 machine, but the RTR version will obviously be very welcome. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium coronach Posted April 11, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Wow! So D5061 was a Waverley loco then, and it still exists in preservation. How many other ex Waverley route diesel loco's still exist? I guess the class 26 and clayton are a start. Details of 64B diesel workings over the route can be found over on my blog. Class 24s here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/585/entry-4025-fruit-machine-jackpot/ and Class 26s here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/585/entry-4045-smethwicks-finest-other-products-of-b66-available-that-may-or-may-not-be-considered-quite-this-fine/ Dave 'Max Stafford' and I have both hacked Heljan 26s around to represent the definitive '60s /0 machine, but the RTR version will obviously be very welcome.

'CHARD Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Oh yes, I didn't clock the number of the loco, but she does indeed still exist and yes she was a 64B Waverley stalwart. There are a few WR survivors, most notably DRS's still main line operational 37667, originally D6851 and later 37151. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
landscapes Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hi I am sure this A3 worked over the Waverley route during it's time at Haymarket. Regards David 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisher24 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 heres a couple of snaps of my latest scratchbuild loco, J37 64605 which was based at St Margarets and i have a photo of the real thing at Hawick the late 50's. these photos appear elsewhere on another topic but i thought id put a couple on here anyways. the loco does still require some work doing to it, after taking and putting up these photos i realised that the centre splasher needs re attatching and also the tender wheels were not all on the rails, hence the low height when compared to the loco in these shots. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfisher24 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 a few snaps of newcastleton taken at the hawick show. apoligies for the quality of the snaps as i am still getting used to my new finepix camera. 60530 approaching the level crossing with a stopper for hawick and edinburgh. the starter signal heading north, all signals on the layout are kits from model signal engineering. station nameboard a view of the fiddleyard and some of the stock. and again. a good amount of trade in the goods yard, im not sure about the car in this snap, would this make be around when the loco was as 64605 was i think withdrawn in mid 64. the bug. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
