37408 Front End Color?


Ozz37

Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

I'm very new to this site and also to communicating on line, so if I'm not doing it properly can someone please point me in the right direction.

 

I'm getting back into OO model rail after a significant break.

 

I have Bachmann 37408 Loch Rannoch in BR blue that needs some touching up on one of the front ends.

 

The yellow looks darker that other BR 37's of the same era.

 

Just wondering is anyone can point me in the right direction for the correct color so I can have a crack at repainting it with the airbrush.

 

Appreciate your help.

 

Cheers Ross

Presumably this is BR Large Logo Blue, as it never carried BR Blue
A clean 37408?
Did you buy this second hand?
If so, the previous owner may have lightly weathered the ends, and that would certainly match photos of the loco during the summer months
So rather than repainting the ends you may want to weather the loco to make it more realistic

Ahh, I have to laugh.  I've been looking in my emails for a reply, don't think to look at the topic, spot the newbie  :sarcastichand:

 

Appreciate your response mjkerr and love the photo, will use it as a template.

 

Have not weathered before but keen to have a crack at it.

 

Whats not to love about a 37.

 

Appreciate your help.
