Weathering a GWR Class 61XX by Hornby


Recommended Posts

Hi All, hope you have all had a lovely Christmas, had a few hours today to play, so weathered my first loco and a couple of carriages, please let me know what you think, I didn't want to make the loco look too dirty or rusty, or on it's way to the scrap yard, but more of a in use condition, so soot from the chimney, oil and normal track grime

Plenty of views BJ, but I think you'll need to throw some light onto the subjects before you get any responses.  Too much in shadow at the mo.

Many Thanks will add a couple more pics I took last night on the layout, the lighting is far better in the loft than the living room, hope this helps you to see the loco better

I admire the courage to have a go and hope you have achieved what you hoped to, I haven't had that courage yet. If I might point out one small thing with the best of intentions, the inside of the chimney needs blacking up, it's far too clean and goldy. :good:

Thanks it's the first time I've had ago at weathering a loco, pleased with the overall look, but realise it's something new so all feedback is appreciated, wanted to weather it as a preserved loco, so kept cleanish and brass polished, but also used. With weathering just have ago, I put it off, but watched loads of videos on YouTube and just had ago
