Hi

Here's my first contribution to our Duddeston Road blog

 

This is actually a loco I am doing for my brother - but its bound to appear on shed sometime.

 

We bought this Fowler 4P at the Huddersfield MRC show. It looked fine and ran well. When I came to start weathering it I realised there was a horrid gluey thumbprint on the LHS tank.

 

 

 

I carefully reduced it with a fibreglass pencil, a scraper and some very fine abrasive.

 

Martin had given me a prototype to base it on

 

 

and here are the results so far.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still a way to go.

 

There are a couple of spots on the front buffer beam that Ive missed, the cylinder fronts are yet to do - probably with powders - coal and lamps.

 

I've never shown any of my stuff before - so I'd welcome any hints or comments.

 

Chas
