That looks very nice, I've noticed the rusting on the exhaust of your model too, I'd forgotten about that!

@PMP Ok, thank you.

@PMP Thank you, what colours would that be?

Thanks guys, other than the blemishes, I'm pleased with how the yellow has gone on. When seen from a distance the marks are not really noticeable, the one on the cab side will be covered in BR blue so I'll gently sand them, I'm worried about making more of a mess so I might just weather the other's out and lesson learned for next time, I've got a few Lima Locos I want to upgrade. I've read some stuff about using Vinyl masking tape for a clearer line, have you had any experience of that, I've only ever used Tamiya tape more masking?

Thank you @45125 👍

I'm catching up on some old unfinished projects and I've moved on to an 08 that I bought many moons ago. It was already weathered, and I wanted to enhance that a bit. I was wondering about the muck was that was on many an 08, it seemingly ran from the roof just in front of the cab and down either side of the loco, as seen on this example, It seemed to be common to 08's and I've always wondered what caused this and the best way to replicate it on a model?

Thanks guys, I'm wondering if a white primer was a good idea as I couldn't notice those defects with it. I might try grey next time.

I've been messing around with a Lima class 47 for a while and finally decide to paint it BR Blue. It's been primed the I sprayed the yellow warning panels, using Railmatch Enamel. The photos have shown some defects which aren't really noticeable, but I'll correct them. My question is, is it a simple matter of using wet and dry to smooth out the defects then just re spraying the patches that it creates, or do I spray the whole yellow end again?

The little vixen that has been showing up regularly, brought her cubs at the weekend, they happily ran around the garden for a while then vanished, the cubs haven't been back with her since.

I saw this little guy in my neighbours garden yesterday, now I know where my plants have gone! 😉

I used to love going to St Pancras, walking across the road from Kings Cross you had a stunning building and that massive roof! It always seemed quieter than other London terminals and I was guaranteed to see something different from my diet of 37's and 47's.

Thank you @Rich Papper, I get that with the Railmatch jars!

They are fantastic James, I'm sorely tempted to try that with the 47 I've got to work on but they are outside my time frame! Very tempting though!

Thanks James, my local model shop sells railmatch paints, I think they do a RF grey.

@James Makin I've a question for you. I've got a class 47 I want to paint in Large Logo Grey, the pre sector grey and just before the red stripe was added but I'm not sure which paint to use, also is the same grey used for the loco roof? Seems an obvious question but is it just called Railfreight Grey? Thanks Steve.
