81A Oldoak Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Chris, what is the use of T-cut for? If I search on RM-web it seems to be used for removing decals. Your weathering is very good, I like the realistic 'shine'. What is T-Cut anyway? I hope to find something simular in the Netherlands. Guillaume Guillaume, Simon has answered for me. Toothpaste also works well as a polish, but leaves the loco smelling like a sweet shop. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fritz Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Chris, What color of T-cut do you prefer? http://www.ebay.de/itm/T-CUT-Scratch-REMOVER-Kratzer-ENTFERNER-NANO-TECHNOLOGIE-6-Farben-Auswahl-/252843760173 Best regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

81A Oldoak Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 A modest ambition was achieved with the publication of my maiden article in edition 256 of the Model Railway Journal about my customised Minerva Kerr Stuart Victory 0-6-0T on Cwm Bach. I have had many articles published in other titles, but this is a first. Watch out for longer articles about Cwm Bach in some of the other titles.

81A Oldoak Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Ixion Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0ST No5 "GEORGETTE" stands at Cwm Bach awaiting delivery to our fifth grandchild and second grand-daughter tomorrow. Our daughter-in-law asked for a purple engine so a respray was necessary. The paint is Citadel acrylic "Genestealer Purple".

Just like to point out that I 'liked' your post on the grounds that I 'like' that you have gone to all this trouble for your grandchild. Would not want anyone to think that I necessarily like the colour you have painted the loco (LOL). Now where did I put those travel sickness pills?

81A Oldoak Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Our grand-daughters visited us today and their Hudswell Clarke locomotives ran a double-headed special train up the valley to Cwm Bach. Later on they visited Tonfanau Camp, but were disappointed not to see Peppa Pig and family, who are known to be holidaying in the vicinity. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

81A Oldoak Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 I suppose it is too late to order my pannier tanks in that fetching shade of puce? Richard, It's too late for the 8750s, but if you send the RGB and Pantone colour codes of the precise shade you want we might be able to run a 57XX, for an appropriate extra consideration of course.

Popular Post 81A Oldoak Posted August 5, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2017 Having delivered the colourful Hudswell Clarke to my grand-daughter, I was able to weather my Taff Vale "A" Class 0-6-2T. This was a long overdue job and the results can be seen in the photographs with a "before" picture for comparison. I am reliably informed that the bent cab step is quite prototypical.
