hmrspaul Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 This was built by Richard Chapman from a JLTRT kit and then passed to me to be finnished painted and weathered. May I enquire what was the source of the lettering layout you have used. The large XP and tare would much more usually be at the extreme right hand end - as on any BR wagon and the information about coupling on the left. I accept there was a lot of variation in lettering, but none I photographed had this arrangement. The weathering (and model itself) are excellent. http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/braketender Paul Bartlett Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckjumper Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I don't know anything about the layout of the lettering (it's far too futuristic for me!) but I agree with Paul that it looks superb. Nice one Fred! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 964017 from my site http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/braketender/h270323d0#h270323d0 It has LMS coach bogies and the lettering has XP at the far right end.

tango13 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Fred what can i say but fantastic matey. I have read all the comments and iam amazed by some of them! I just can't begin to undertand their mentality. As you know i have a difficult client who hasn't got a clue and never will have. I would be very interested to see if they could produce the same quality of work that you and i can produce. This is a hobby which is all about enjoyment and thats what it should be. Not picking faults, Keep up the fantastic work mate, i know you will..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Lacey (92245) Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Brilliant bit of weathering here - I'd rather aks a stupid question than simply presume - but I'm taking it the weathering was done with an airbrush? If so would you be willing to give details of paints used and any preferred techniques. I doubt I will be the only one looking for a bit of a master class before switching my compressor on! Look forward to seeing the next bit of rolling stock off your workbench! Cheers, Stephen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
