ess1uk Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hi Martin you lucky b*gger, they are like rocking horse do-dah and I could do with 4 or 5 of them, I've got 5 Fisons ones but I'd rather the UKFs. There are a few on eBay at the moment if you are quick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 yep, it couldnt look any worse though next on the hit list are the 2 PWAs to be sorted. they need the ends painted brown VGA looks great I didn't know that the ends should've been brown on the UKF PWA's!!! That means I'll have to re-do mine Jinty ;-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ess1uk Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 The 3 PWAs arrived in the post today. Might paint the ends brown tonight since it's raining. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 It was really nice meeting you at Wrecrail today. Shame there was no where convenient to sit down and chat. And it was a real coincidence that the two of you worked so close to each other at one time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I've just had a look at my 3 UKF vans (I know it's taken a while!!!), and only one of them is a Lima one, the other two are Hornby and the ends are brown on them, and the brown is certainly a darker brown than the Lima ones. Jinty ;-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Here are 2 of my PWA's. I think Pullman umber is more correct as I think the Hornby colour looks right!!! The Lima one on the left, Hornby on the right in top photo, other way round in the bottom.Sorry for the hijack!!!!Jinty ;-) 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinty ;-) I've just done one of mine with Railmatch Bauxite which looks close enough to the Lima brown.It will do for me as by the time they are weathered to be as mucky as they seem to be in any pictures I've seen then I'm sure it won't be that noticeable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Painted the other 3 UKF palvans this afternoon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after looking at my Lima one, Bauxite looks probably right, and like you say, I don't think I've ever seen a photo of a clean one yet!!! Get the dirt flowing Jinty ;-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Now I'm back from my holiday in the New Forest, it's time to start the weathering on the pal vans. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 I went to do a little painting last night but the nozzle on my spray can of frame dirt was blocked! Guess I hadn't held it upside-down for long enough last time I used it? Did try soaking it in enamel thinners and got a dribble of paint out, guess I will need to buy another can now? So no more progress on weathering any of the recent wagons at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed a/c Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Buy a new can, then if able to pop off the nozzle and use it on the old can first. Edited August 23, 2014 by thebritfarmer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
