Swifty11 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I'm very, very jealous of that 66. Here is Terry's latest video! I'd say dint weather them or only lightly as they seem to lower the value for some reason especially on the shanks Edited October 7, 2013 by Swifty11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jason T Posted October 7, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2013 I say DO weather them Terry; models are for running, not for displaying. Limited Edition Hornby Black Five 44871, released to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the end of BR steam ( ) I took a pin vice and scalpel to the area under the smokebox to remove the moulded area that shouldn't be there. Hornby Stanier tenders have a bizarre shelf on top of the chassis (under the tender body) - I cut it off and glued Plastikard into the tender body so that it still sits on the chassis and looks 100 times better Front steps were way too thick and lacking in detail so I threw them away and replaced them with Comet etched ones The front pony truck was a block of crap so I threw it away and replaced it with an etched Comet kit Pony truck wheels are incorrect so they were replaced with Romford ones Tension lock couplings are awful so they were binned, the NEM pockets hacked off and Slaters Screw Links added It was weathered (not the best job admittedly; much happier with my other Five, 45026) Real coal added. Now you may be thinking 'What does this have to do with tin boxes / diesels?' Basically, I want to use my models and am not interested in them sat in a cabinet in pristine condition. Resale value is unimportant as they are worth more to me in the state I want them than what some bloke with cornflakes in his beard who wants to store stuff in their boxes for 50 years is willing to pay me for them.

Hi Jason I completely agree with you about weathering the locos so i will weather them when i get round to it. Plus a clean fresh out of the box loco just looks odd running around a dirty looking layout along side weathered locos and like you i much prefer them to look like models rather than plastic toys. As for your black five.....is there any actual original parts left to it after the complete over haul you have done to it,lol. surely it would have been cheaper to scratch build one out of all the parts you have used to rebuild the one in the picture. However saying that the black five in the photo does really look the part and you have done a top job on it. On a lighter note mate i have been watching your progress lately and have to say you are doing a fine job on the layout. Im not into steam the same as you with "tin boxes" but i really enjoy watching your layout progress as its a work of art and most of all i enjoy watching your scratch building skills at work as i get most of my inspiration for scratch building from you.
