Jintyman Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 After a lot of rubbing and touching up the 08 is ready for her new number 08206.. Hi George, How did you manage to remove the numbering? What did you use as I found them rather stubborn! Jinty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hi George, How did you manage to remove the numbering? What did you use as I found them rather stubborn! Jinty Hi Jinty, l used 3000 grit paper with water and a fibre pen very lightly, as you say they are a to shift then touched up with some Railmatch BR blue acrylic, when dry l will brush on some Johnson Klear then apply the transfer l got from Railtech.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) The railmatch blue looks a decentish match on there. It wasn't/isn't on my blue Dapol N gauge 56 which is a pain as I want to paint the roof grilles blue (black on the model for some reason) but it stands out like a sore thumb with the colour mismatch.

georgeT Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Well l was getting on fine ? then found the transfers l bought were too big ? as they over lapped the cabside So l went for a smaller number with transfers l already had, l think its the wrong number ? but it fits.. . its easy to renumber if its wrong ? Any ideas Guys... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Put some LEDs into the box need to dim them down with some yellow paint ? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt_911 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 You might need a resistor in there as well depending on how much the paint dims it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 The lights are bright mate, I would have a look at some Black Paint over the outer 2 and some Yellow over the middle one and I bet that will be about right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Morning Mate, When are you going to start a Layout thread in the 7mm Section ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Excellent work mate, even if you cant use it on your Layout, I'm sure someone on here would find a use for it, even if it did need painting into a decent colour, like BR Western Brown and Cream, or Midland Maroon and Cream, hhahahha :nono: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 The box is almost finished now, but as l am thinking of making a yard to shunt wagons around l am thinking would this box be there ? so l might put it into storage for another day... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for a Desk Lamp that you can angle into the booth and also use on your workbench ready for when YOU fit your next Chips or put on the Layout for doing small details. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Always wanted a spray booth set up all the time in the workshop but never had the room, it is such a pain setting it all up just to do a wagon, so at the end off my shelf right near the window (ideal for the extraction tube) I have now got a permanent set up.......great light when the sun is out and when its not 105 LEDs show the way.. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
