RMweb Gold RFS Posted August 6, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2012 That Hornby model looks a bit big for OO gauge or are my eyes deceiving me? And yet another seller who doesn't realize that writing a description in block capitals with little or no puntucation is a real turn-off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 6, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2012 has any 59 got that dirty? I often wonder if any of these ebay "pro" weatherers actually look at real locos/stock. The same seller has a Colas 66 in a similar state - the Colas sheds are usually very clean.

RMweb Premium petethemole Posted August 6, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2012 I couldn't find the kids in his listings, have they been withdrawn? Perhaps they were too messy from playing with paint :-) Actually looks like a general dealer rather than the perpretrator of said outrage, which is an insult to all PRO weatherers!! Incidentally, on the general topic of weathered stock on ebay; if I sell some of my stock as "weathered by a professional" (true, I belong to a recognised profession) would it sell better? I did buy an otherwise hard to find white metal kit built wagon from one of the much-derided "L@@K PRO" weatherers. It was quite well done compared with some of his stuff and cost me about what the kit would cost. It's scheduled for a repaint, not for his finish but to change the livery.

cromptonnut Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'd love to know how people define themselves as an 'expert' in weathering... because some of these examples I've seen are definitely very different to my definition of the word. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you weather it and sell it on ebay for more than it cost you then you too can call yourself a "professional". All "professional" means id that you make money from doing it - it doesn't mean you make a lot or that it is any good. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddys-blues Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Out of interest on pro-weathering, where do you go to attend "a weathering apprenticeship " and get a Certificate of Professional Weathering Competence ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictly speaking a professional is someone who has professed an oath as part of their training e.g, doctors, solicitors, civil servants, Earning money for doing a job is a trade or craft not a profession (and yes I know the term professional is hugely misued these days). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
