Transfers complete on WCRC 57601, Colas 56113, 37421 and 37116. Varnish next and re-build. Will weather the 56 and 57 but I'm going to leave the 37's for now. I'm really please with them all.

Not really. I've done it both ways before but these noses were welded on and not coming off easily. Thanks.

Painting completed, noses and touch-ups/ detailing done. Both pairs of noses have needed modifying to represent the prototype locos. I will add pics later with all transfers applied.

Latest projects. 37116 and 37421 in Colas colours. Just noses to paint, decals, weathering, refit glazing and handrails. The Chassis are already prepped. Really like doing the Colas colours and as such next will be another 37 and a 60.

Hope you like.

Great to see the full rake Mick. Only 8 left to go for me!

Yeah vents on genny aren't great but recoverable. Looks worse in photo to be fair. I will revisit them soon.

KFA base wagon is Heljan corus rail wagon. Me and and brother designed and produced all the add on parts. Thanks for the praise.

Today's work bench includes a minor transfer application to 56105. Re-paint of a Bachmann virgin 57 into West Coast Rail 57601 and Colas 56113 awaits transfer application post last weeks re-painting.

Meanwhile today I have weathered the KFA, a Bachmann VGA and N/R generator coach.

Plenty more to come.

About time I started my own thread to show some of the work I carry out on RTR stock. All modern image and bang up to date (mostly). It's all for my own layout but as always something new catches your eye and I will move on locos and stock that are no longer at the fore of my modelling.

Anyway first project to show is my take on the Colas KFA wagons pictured with 56105. Me and my brother designed and produced the ends and stanchions. You may see some more crop up on here in the near future!

Anyway hope you enjoy and all comments welcome.

Pics taken on IPad so not the best but you get the idea.

Mick I hope you don't mind me posting this pic on here, but I have 95% finished my first KFA! Weathered as well and looking great with one of my Colas 56's.

Really looking forward to seeing your full rake made up and on a layout.

Wagons too long would be my guess Mick!

Andy

Nice work. I knocked together my first proper one yesterday. I was wondering about hand rails. Did you bend them yourself?

Andy

Excellent work as always Lee. Can I ask where you get your seated passengers from?

Andy

Great job as always. Love to check up on this thread. It's nice to see there are some great people on RM Web Lee, also plenty of boring ones! Super work keep it up.

Hoofing it down in High Wycombe. Work phoned me and told me to not bother coming in! I still get paid so nice relaxing day for me.

Internet order Saturday night, email to say packed and ready Sunday. Arrived 350 miles further north on Tuesday.

 

Can't get much better than that. (And incidentally, 1p cheaper than another big box-shifter!)

 

Cheers,

Mick

37514 by chance?
