Andrew P Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Thanks Jack, I weathered up the Pollybulk as part of my weathering demonstration at our Clubs open weekend at Easter. It was the pristine one. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Great weathering! Those polybulk's are hard to get hold of now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Great weathering! Those polybulk's are hard to get hold of now. Jack, I was just saying earlier this evening on Marcus's Kyle of Lochwilliam that there were a couple at the Derby show that surprised me. I would have thought that they'd all gone now. Luckily I only needed 1 for SL as it just a works, and no long sidings or through running. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 The 47 in the shots above was originally like this, again I did this at the Easter Show. Having got it home it looked a bit over done, but a wash with some Enamel Thinners soon got rid of the worst of the dirt and just left it in the grooves. When I get the Air Brush out again I will need to re do the Exhaust soot though. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hi Andy, I've just caught up with this thread so appologies if this has been said before but I cant believe the letter that was published and I cant belive the magazine printed it as well, let alone made it a star letter!! Anyway enough of that, I am so glad you're still posting on here as I and so many others find your layouts and articles so inspiring. Are you planning on doing any demonstations or exhibiting at the rm web day as I'm hoping to go and it woudl be good to see your work in the flesh, so to speak, although I know how stressfull moving can be so I guess that will take up most of your time. Keep up the modelling and I look forward to seeing more pics, the last few with the class 47 and polybulk were great, the good thing about a 'works' layout is you dont need loads of wagons and you can run almost anything. Take care Andy, hope alls well. Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdw7300 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Lovely subtle weathering on the 47 & Polybulk wagon - both look really good. Thank you for adding loads of photos of SL (and on all your many previous layout threads!). I will be merrily "borrowing" ideas when I get to the scenics on my layout. All the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ray H Posted May 13, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think Andy's slipping. Look at the weathering on the inside of the spray booth. It's nearly as minimalistic as that on the garage doors in earlier shots. And as for the cardboard boxes containing the road vehicles . . . . Seriously, I've never been a fan of heavily weathered rolling stock. Perhaps it is a desire to pretend to remember trains as I would like to have seen them in my younger days. Andy always seems to strike the right balance between the pristine and (to my way of thinking) appropriately weathered. I wish I had even a modicum of his artistic talents which seem to show no bounds. I've just got no artistic talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hi Andy - Is this a new idea, weathering the boxes of vehicles so that you don't have to remove them - much easier to weather a box than a Landrover Cheers, Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
67A Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hi Andy, Love the 47' shots, at risk of being really shot or at worse skitted to bits I have to say the 47's were/are my favourite diesel. To gain some credence back my reason is simple, when I was a BR fitter they were in my opinion the easiest mainline loco to work on, followed by the variable 24/25/26/27 classes. The O8 was simpler still and I'm sure I could still strip and rebuild one in my sleep! NO I AM NOT AVAILABLE! Keep up the good work mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Of all BR liverys thats the one I like best. Hi Mate, be it a 50, 47, 56, or 37, LL Blue is really good, but weathering the roof to look good is very difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care Andy, hope alls well. Steve. Hi Steve, and thanks for all your nice comments, I'm not at RM Web Live, but after the move I hope to get out and about with some demo's. It may be backscenes or weathering or just running Swad Lane, or something again. Cheers again. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Evening Sam, borrowing, stealing, copying ideas, I think we all do it. When I go to a show I generally take about 200 or so photos, things like Lanes, Cottages, and small bits of interest in order to NOT copy, but do similar with at some point. Thanks again, more pics later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evening Ray, and thanks, the reason for the minimalistic weathering in the spray booth is because it was BRAND NEW a couple of hours earlier. Don't worry, the Land Rover got it in the end, as did these two. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 nice layout andy, nice job on 401. regards steve. Thanks Steve, I will re do some bits on the 47 roof, especially around the Exhaust port. I also used the new Humbrol washes to do in and round the window frames and door edges to show dirt in them, I will try and do some close ups tomorrow. Thanks again for looking in.

Andrew P Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Heres a couple of Buses I did at the Easter Show, although NOT appropriate for Swad Lane I though I would just post them up to show the light weathering. And this open Wagon that will be on Swad Lane. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted May 14, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 14, 2014 Like the road transport Andy. Did you swap the wheels out on the Morris or is it the weathering that gives them that chunky look? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
