Grimleygrid Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hi Cav, now that is what you call wagon weathering! Great work on the SSA. I have 25 of those, are you okay if I drop them round at the weekend for weathering?!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Well I could do with the cash as I just lost my job! Thanks for the thumbs up. I was very pleased with how the SSA came out. Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very pleased with how the SSA came out. Cav Sorry to hear this Cav, having gone through this process myself I know how you feel. Best of luck getting sorted out. Modelling can be a nice distraction from thinking about it thankfully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBE Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Came as a bit of a shock really. There was no talk yesterday at work and then about 6:30 last night I was told the company had gone bust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emt_911 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Cav That looks really good. Can't wait to see the finished article. Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Thanks Duncan. I will be finishing it over the next few days so will post some pics as I go. It will be running on Hughs layout at Derby so a chance to see it in the flesh there. Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Cheers Bob yes it is a headlight. 262 had this feature at one point and Hugh wanted to replicate that. Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBE Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Haha I see the Dalek eye. Maybe its the new breed of super heavyweight Daleks! The grey does have a cool stealth look I must say! Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBE Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks Mark, I'm pretty much still tinkering with my N gauge stuff. The class 45 is in undercoat ready to get yellow applied so I guess that's next. My rake of HEAs need to be sorted out coupling and paint wise and weathered as do my 3 rakes of coaching stock.

emt_911 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Cav Having seen lots of photos of 262 in Departmental, that is seriously impressive. Excellent work. Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 37 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'm sure you've been asked lots of times, what airbrush do you have? I'll be on the market for a new one. Unfortunately it will be sub £50 as I already have two cheaper ones (came with compressor) it's hard to justify £100+ to SWIMBO. Cheers, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_long Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Mark I think you can't beat the Iwata Neo! Iwata quality for £50 is probably the best you'll get IMHO and others (including a certain Mr Rathbone)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Cav Having seen lots of photos of 262 in Departmental, that is seriously impressive. Excellent work. Duncan Thanks Duncan, I used quite a few photos to do that and basically hand picked the best weathering details that would scale down and look right. I'm sure you've been asked lots of times, what airbrush do you have? I'll be on the market for a new one. Unfortunately it will be sub £50 as I already have two cheaper ones (came with compressor) it's hard to justify £100+ to SWIMBO. Cheers, Mark Mark I use the Iwata Neo as recommended by Dave. Cost about £45 and does a great job. The switch out pots for different size paint batches is the best feature on it for me. Before that I used a cheap BD180 (?) off ebay and got just as good results. If I'm honest as long as you keep the brush clean its worth having a couple of them as back ups or for different jobs, at a tenner a piece they work great. Really do need to have their needles polished though but I found that also the case with the Iwata Neo. Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs4 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Superb 37 Cav It's a source of huge regret that I stopped gawking at trains from about 1990 something onwards until about 2005 ? I was lucky enough to live in Scotland for 4 years...... Criminal what I missed ! So the livery you've done is in that period - ouch it annoys me !!

Mark 37 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Dave, Cav, Thanks for the recommendation, I've been looking at them on fleebay. One went for £35 the other day. Thanks again, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Its been a while since I stuck anything in here. So here goes. This is going to be the ultimate? 90. Soon to be outshopped as 90034 in DRS it features PH designs etched brass add ons and resin valences and will be powered by a dcc chipped modified Heljan Hymek chassis with directional lighting fitted. I will also be dropping my scratchbuilt BW highspeed pan on the roof. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
