brossard Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Those locos look amazing George, great work. I hardwired a Zimo 645 into my J50. Quite stressful but all turned out well. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful what you buy! I've heard Paul's chips in the J94 and it sounded very good, not sure who is best for the Prairie, Howes or SWD.

Miss Prism Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I like the weathered Jinty, although it seems to lack a brown element to the overall appearance (too 'grey'?). Looking forward to your "finishing off with water and grease patches" treatment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 Cheers Guys, The photos do appear to be very greyish, but there is a hint of rusty brown present around the wheels etc, looking for photos of the real locos to find exactly where the water and grease were...
