Richard Pike Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Will these be avaliable for sale at some point. Would be interested in having a go my self. I take there was a lot of cut and shut done to to coaches? Brian at Shawplan has produced the superb little Etch, it just involves cutting the end of the passenger compartment off and sliding in between the roof and sole bar which remain unaltered. The bogies then need changing to B4's and a window on the left side of the coach needs blanking off and a half window adding. I have just completed a rake of 5 for a customer comprising of 1x MK3, 3 x Mk1 Pullmans and the Observation car. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCClark Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi Richard Some superb modelling you have done. Your resprays are excellent and I wonder if you could answer a couple of questions for me please. What colours did you use for the roof and body of your Royal Scotsman 66 and how do you get the Bachmann 66 handrails off the ends without damaging them??? What method do you use for your excellent cantrail orange? Do you use a pen, decals or spray orange and use 0.5mm masking tape? Best regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Pike Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi John, Thank you for your comments. For the Royal Scotsman, I used BR Maroon and Halfords Primer grey for the roof. The Bachmann 66 hand rails on the cab front come off, I use a scalpel in between the hand rail and the cab front and just apply gentle pressure around the fixing points and usually they will ease out, I do drill the holes out, I think 0.6mm, otherwise you cannot get them back in after painting. Cantrail lining....I have tried several methods but the one I use now most of the time is as you suggested, spray on a orange band , then mask with Jammydog 0.5mm tape.

JCClark Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi Richard Thank you very much for your reply, great help. I tend to go for the spray orange method but have done a lining pen job on a couple of 60s. Just finishing off a Heljan 57 in FGW blue as 57603 Tintagel Castle. Have gone for a 6 function lighting kit from Express Models so looking forward to giving it a run with a rake of sleepers. Thanks once again and best regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D6775 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Scotsman rake looks fantastic. I could do with a 4/5 car set at some point in c1993 condition. Which donor models did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCClark Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hi Richard Managed to get extra sleepers in FGW LIVERY from Hattons for £17 each and R3 Resprays have done me a sheet of coach numbers and coach letters to read-number same. A great service from Mike and Colin. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Bachmann Pullman Parlour and Kitchen cars, and a Hornby MK3 sleeper. I was more thinking the individual coaches. The saloon with the balcony looks to me like a parlour Second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virginhst539 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Having a look at my drawings of the coach it says "Ex mk1 Pullman first kitchen" either way the model looks top notch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Pike Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Any more updates?? Sorry Guy's, I have been having a little personal issue and have hardly been at home since October so had little opportunity for any modeling. Hope to be allowed back home at the end of the month and get caught up on the back log of projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
