Nice fix to an infuriating problem, but really we love these little problems they make modelling fun. Well they do when you think about them months and months later when your memory of the problem is not so good, and you have a stiff drink in your hand...or is that just me?
does the scale have anything to do with it, as an N gauge lad (event though I have other scales don't tell the other half) surely two of my loco's equals 1 00 gauge one and so on lol
Keep up the good work, it takes a lot of courage to actually start to weather a locomotive, it took me ages to pluck up enough courage to weather a maroon loco in my fleet, but strangely I had not problems weathering black/green examples.
I'm currently trying to paint some N gauge figures, and I can only hope to get such good results, though I think my eyesight is suffering as a result.
The good news is that if I go blind, I wont be able to see my colour blobbed people,....bonus
James as ever its looking good, I form curves in plasticard by heating the sheet in warm water then bending round a suitable diameter sized formed, securing this and then submerging this into more boiling water, I leave it sitting in this until the water has turned cold
The weathering on the 4F looks good to me, I must admit to having a soft spot for these loco's, and no matter how much weathering you apply you can always find a photo of an example in a worst condition
Is it just me, or is the smell of freshly sawn timber one of the best things about starting a new layout. Ray this is a really impressive looking layout
One of my favourite classes of loco's, so much so that I nearly have the same number as the real ones built in the Hornby Dublo collection (lots waiting to be renovated).
I might try and weather my N gauge ones using ideas gained from this post, keep the updates coming
