James buddy, you've got this in the wrong thread.....
It should be in "how realistic are your models. Photo challenge"
; )
Super job as ever.

More good info Mick, yes..... Just not thinking AT ALL !
Off it comes.
Good to see Railtec are doing the black transfers for the White wagons.
Even more chance to mess it up !
Edit: 05.55. Hop out of bed. Get the t cut out. Remove transfers 035 and 037. Return to bed.

on a related note, "Billion Dollar Brain" - now there is a CLASSIC film. One of my faves.
The story is roughly as follows:
Bloke messes up taking apart and putting wagons together - all very Cold War stuff. Michael Caine plays Harry "the wagon" Palmer, a sort of secret agent wagon spy. Gripping, especially the bit where.......
Error, error error, buffers...hit the buffers.... Buffer over run.... Old buffer.... Out of memory.... Memory ? Over and out.

Hey Mick..... What an idiot I now feel.
Yes... OF COURSE !
I can do green and white if you fancy it !
Bloomin' 'ell..... Panic over. Apologies Dapol.
Anyone got a spare brain ?
Believe it or not this is the first time I've bothered to renumber wagons -maybe the last

EDIT....apologies Dapol...my mess up on the wagon sides ! Having taken apart and swiftly reassembled I've mixed the sides up... Sorry.
Picture the scene.
I've got 21 wagons. I'm trying to be organised here what with renumbering, ribs, missing logos etc.
Anyway, there I am removing further numbers etc ..... Eh ..... What's going on here ????
Sorry to report but I have found that some of the wagons have 2 numbers printed on the opposite sides.....
Examples:
369002 has 369020 on the other side......
369008 has 369020
Another 369008 is correct...
White 369044 has 027
Another 369008 has 369002
369020.... 369020
369002 has 369052
Another ..white .369027 correct
Another 369044 is correct.
So, a right mess up and there is no apparent rhyme or reason to the error.
And no, it's 1520 and the bar has yet to open at this establishment....

Very handy Mick - thanks.
I have come across another one today 369058 which was / is logo less on one side (unsure on other)
Handily I see that 369118 is on the Railtec renumber set....
I've gone through the Dapol numbers, Railtec numbers and decided on which are to be renumbered, and which need the 2 ribs removed (7). Done 6 so far.
The white ones unfortunately will rename the same numbers for now.
Handbrushed over the scars for now, hoping that some grime will further cover them up:
WOWWWWW. Stretched photo alert !
Edit: just viewed Matthews photo of 058. Useful. Ta

Hi Mick
I did see your rib removal ..... It got me twitching with the scalpel !
Sounds like an episode of Holby.....
Think I'm gonna have to do some now....all your fault.... If I'm missing a finger or two when I see you at DEMU you know why.

Hi Shoey, sorry only just seen your reply.
Colin Craig (sorry Pete). Good choice and he does do big bags full and the killer...they are all pre shelled... No cutting out or filing required !
Brief pause in the HIAs as I've been tied up at the weekends. Have just ordered the Railtec HIA transfers (back in stock today) so I'll be applying some alternative numbers and need to remove some of the strengthening bits before going any further.
I wouldn't normally bother renumbering, so I'm pushing the boat out on these ones.
Cheers
Nick

Mick.... Top bloke.

Whatever the answer is, there is certainly 8 years of weathering and aging to take account of.
Reds are particularly susceptible to fade and I do wonder whether you are seeing what is beneath the EWS maroon
Ok, so who's gonna offer up the next challenge to James ? Gotta keep the poor bloke busy after all ?

Well, even more impressive in OO !
Really like the very authentic coal load.

Hi David
Are we talking O gauge here ?
Nice wooden look to those planks.

Double post, squirrel database error (that's what I call these SQL database issues....highly technical)
So I'll alter this post.. To a cruel close up of the complete green chutes.
-
-
Hmmmmm. Error......
The entire chute is body coloured, white or green.
In many photos they look black - probably shadow and muck.
I'll be respraying today.... Assuming the office hasn't been blown away....

Ha ha !
Just seen your 50 OCA.... B R I L L I A N T.
I really must have a go at that....one day....

Must get back to those HIAs ...and my 950... And and and
