    Humbrol Clear gone white on drying

    in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips

    I have just had Humbrol Clear go white too and it was applied in the warm! It was applied over transfers.

    .  I have always used enamel varnishes sprayed on but Cambridge Custom and Railtec transfers react, I have been told Microsol varnish is superior to Clear.  

    My Microsol varnish has just been delivered. So (using different brushes) the intention is Microsol  gloss varnish/ leave 2 days. Transfers; leave 2 days. Microsol  satin varnish. So after leaving a further week can I spray my normal weathering mix of dirty enamel matt varnish or will I get a paint reaction?

    Hi Terry

    A Britannia in progress; it uses a very old Triang body shell (dimensionally accurate, but in need of a lot of pipework), which is sitting on a scratch brass chassis (1.6 mm slab sides) designed to take an X04 motor. It has Romford wheels and will be fitted with Comet cylinders and motion. The cab needs modifying to match the BR1B tender (which is from a Dave Alexander kit).

     

    I was thinking about a Hornby Brit/Bachmann BR1c to achieve 70052 but didn't realise there was a cab mod needed. Any advice

    Oh Doh I should have searched!

    I think I like them better with the panel so I'll do as advised and select numbers to suit. Thanks Guys.

    On the WR the Yellow panel first appeared on 16/01/62 when D834 left Swindon after repairs, it was followed by D822 on the 26th. D859 was the first 800 to enter traffic with the Yellow panel from new on 09/01/62.

     

    D7019 was the first new Hymek to have a Yellow panel, from 14/02/62. D7018 was delivered new without a Yellow panel on 17/01/62 but after a few days in traffic went into Swindon for minor attention, coming out on 31/01/62 with the Yellow panel.

     

    With the 22's D6337 was new with Yellow from 13/03/62 with 6325 getting its Yellow end from 10/01/62 followed by 6305 on 12/01/62.

     

    With the 1000's D1002 was new in Green with Yellow, and the first from new in Maroon was D1011. Quite why 1001/1005-10 came out with Yellow buffer beams whilst the Yellow panel was being applied to other classes is not known other than the painting drawing date was probably slow in filtering down to the shop floor.

    IIRC, I can scan the photo in Steam World as many times as "I" like as long as it's for my own use. If it's for information/education it can be used , but not in print (to make personal gain). So this opens up the can of worms, can it be used on the web? In the context of this discussion, I would say that it could be (information/education). "Therefore". The information has not been sold for personal gain.

     

     

     

    OzzyO.

    It would be good for Andy to comment on this grey area. The only stuff I can find on it is six yars old (below)

    Folks, we have had some useful posts here. Thank you ModelR, StuartP and others. The following sums things up nicely.

    Bottom line - it's illegal. It matters not whether you think the law is daft, unfair or unenforceable, it's Andy who you're potentially getting into trouble.

    RCD vans

    in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips

    Any readers of this topic who are going to Warley show next weekend might want to have a look at 'Gillan & Brown', the 0 gauge industrial layout by Romiley Methodist Railway modellers. There is rumored to be a large snake which lives near where a gnome is fishing, although us operators have never seen it. While there, I suggest you ask about the works cat, the ??? in Dora's cafe and the shock van.

     

    The layout also has an extensive range of 'loads of rubbish' which determine the consists of the trains. Hope they are properly secured to their waggons!

    Could you please refrain from entering the fantasy world and keep this thread for the serious issue of the RCD vans,
