Richard Pike Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Rather than keep posting in my ballast cleaner thread in the Kit building section, I thought I would start a new thread to show off some of my recent projects. My favourite pair of loco's. My first 56 that I have resprayed, sound fitted yesterday. Clic Sargent waiting for Big Jim to sign on. 66710 after its second visit to the paint shop, I just finished the loco last month in its interim Europorte livery, then GBRf repainted it into full Europorte livery, so it was back to the bench for the full treatment. Another Loco who's livery is now obsolete, 66434 and my effort to replicate the Malcolm livery it wore. My RM80 Ballast Cleaner in pseudo Colas colours Debranded W&SR 67012 waiting for a test train. One of my Freightliner FEA conversions into a Super Salmon. Some of my EWS engineers wagons I have been weathering I am just finishing off 37423 in new DRS livery, so will try and post a couple of pictures later.

Popular Post Richard Pike Posted November 27, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2014 Out today and managed to catch a Colas 60 and 2 Deltics in the same frame. Back home and finished another loco, 66718, I have been working on this for about 8 weeks, lot of computer time designing the decals. Big Thanks to Mr Beast who kindly allowed me to use his base photograph's for the decals. It's not quite 100% but overall I am pretty pleased with it. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decals are from Steve at Railtec http://www.railtec-models.com/showitem.php?id=1432 Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs37038 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hi Richard Great work, really enjoyed reading your thread. Could you tell me where you got the transfer for 66709? thanks Andrew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Pike Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hi Andrew, The decals for 709 I made myself, just drew them in MS Paint, then printed them off onto Crafty decal paper. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Pike Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Been busy recently with work and domestic duties, however just got chance to start on another 66709, in true to form fashion, now I have completed my original 66709, GBRF have gone and repainted Sorento into a new livery, reviewing the new livery it is easier to start from scratch rather than repaint my earlier attempt. I have also started on 66711 in its new silver livery but as can be seen from the picture, the donor loco's numbers are bleeding through the silver despite having paint stripped the body and given a coat of Halfords primer. Probably have to revisit the stripping bath. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Pike Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 If I haven't got enough projects going at the moment, I thought I would start another small one that I should be able to complete in a couple of days. Especially for Mick…….can you tell what it is yet ? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
