RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted September 24, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2013 This feed is going to be done to highlight the weathering work that I have done or has been done for me for locos and stock that are for my layout Porthcressa-on-Sea. Some of which have appeared on the excellent exhibition layout warren lane. As I get chance I will update this feed with the work done so far on locos and stock and if done by me personally a description of how I went about achieving the results and the paints/materials used to achieve it. Most of my locos (because I've not got the confidence or skill to do them and also I have as a mate the excellent weatherer dan of dans dirty diesels) are weathered by a friend. With these I'll describe why I wanted the finish I've got and if I still can find them the prototype photos used to inspire each weathering job.

RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted September 24, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2013 first loco to feature that has been weathered is my freightliner 66952 here is a picture of it on service at warren lane it was weathered to give an overall level of general grime of a loco thats been in service for a while Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted September 25, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 25, 2013 is my latest idea. although not prototypical yet (theyre on order) i may ask dan if he can repaint a class 66 like this for me... lightly weathered of course Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
class"66" Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I wouldnt mind one of those!! go realy well with my 97s... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted September 27, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2013 I wouldnt mind one of those!! go realy well with my 97s... i quite like the look. this is not an actual livery that nr have announced but an idea of what it could like that i found on the net but i like it. i also like the idea of having one in model form before network rail do. plus like you i have a 97 and also a 57 and so would look cool lined up next to them. as money is tight at the moment what i'm planning to do is buy a replacement shell for 66407 (which i already have) and repaint that and then swap the shell over as and when i feel in a drs mood or a nr mood. its gonna have a light weather on the nr body like my 57.

RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted September 27, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2013 only thing to have to think about is what ficticious number to give it. from what i understand the new drs and network rail locos will probably have the emd710 power plant in rather than the caterpillar plant that was in some of the earlier locos so i would have thought they would be given a new sub class. also whether network rail would lump them in the 97 class or keep them in the 66 class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted September 27, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2013 here is the picture that i asked dan to base my 57 nr off of. i wanted as i do with a lot of my locos a light weather with the loco looking good but not pristine here is the final result. i think he has done an excellent job and it will go well with my network rail train i created which can be seen on my main layout page. here is the link to the pictures of my network rail coach repaints and weathers that i did http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/70650-porthcressa-on-sea-including-my-projects-for-things-to-go-on-layout/page-4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted October 14, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 14, 2013 Spent yesterday or at least the part of it that I could dedicate to the railway weathering my cross country voyager based on a picture of one I took at plymouth earlier in the year. Unfortunately realised part the way through I'd run out of flat black to do the roof so only partially done. It's amazing to see the difference. The body sides are spotless (almost) on the prototype but the roof and underframes filthy. Anyway here are some pictures if what I've done so far.

RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted October 20, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2013 voyager has had its first run this weekend. not on porthcressa but on Warren Lane ( http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/23763-warren-lane/) a few teething issues mainly caused by dirty picups and wheels which i thought id cleaned alright but werent. my own fault should have prepared more carefully. strange thing ive noticed is that Bachmann dmu wheels seem to dirty up far more quickly than their loco wheels do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted November 19, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2013 I wouldnt mind one of those!! go realy well with my 97s... you'll be pleased to hear that i did in the end ask dan to repaint a 66 for me like the one in the picture i posted. he is in the middle of doing it now as soon as i get some pictures i'll post them here for you (and everyone) to see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted November 19, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2013 here is the first in progress picture. the shell is now repainted... since this picture was taken dan has added all necessary warning flashes etc and has numbered the loco. as it is not known yet what class network rail might put there 66's in i have had to go with a bit of artistic license so after chatting to some friends about what they thought i have decided to model it as if network rail will have put them into tops class 96. so it'll be numbered 96602. dan is going to weather it for me to so as soon as i have more pictures i'll post them.

RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted January 20, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2014 This weekend hoping to get some more brewery wagons weathered and now I've got the flat black tamiya paint I ordered I can finish off the roof of my xc 221 supervoyager. Plus I've also got to replace the motor of the model too. Last year whilst running it I was having plenty of running issues. After much attempts at sorting. Changing DCC chip didn't work. Rewiring didn't work. So it's the motor. I have ordered a new one from Bachmann. Hopefully it'll arrive soon and I can swap out the motor and hopefully have a good year of running.
