georgeT Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Correct Mate l have some red paint left over from the trolley bus l know its a bit bright, but it will have a heavy weathering applied so it should tone it down a tad.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Remember this one mate, as seen on Trebudoc, you must have built this one about 2009 And this one. Edited April 2, 2018 by Andrew P 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Grumpy Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hello Ray, Not bad kits for £30 each, nice brass clean castings not as easy as l thought but l got there in the end the first is a Catfish and the next will be a Dogfish, as l want to make a ballast train up l already have three Grampus to make yet and then l guess l will need a Shark ? Hi George, The M&M dogfish was the 2nd wagon I built a couple of years ago, so the build quality wasn't brilliant, but I think the top of the hopper should be folded over?

georgeT Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 The J94 looked OK in BR Black but l thought it would look much better in red? and owned by a private company, still plenty to add like lining etc etc, it is in ex-works at the moment, and very shiny but a nice heavy layer of weathering will sort that out... 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Blue Lights a Bell and Ladders on top mate and it would look even better, hahahhah Seriously looking good mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
