You are clearly more creative with Plasticard than I am. I can build walls....

That Austerity looks great!

Like the striping.... I think some may be finding there way to my address....

Thanks a lot, be sure to have a go with Plasticard rolling stock, it's easier than it looks, just get a ratio chassis kit and build your own body on top, it's quite satisfying. With the austerity I've weathered her now. Used some powders and washed to create a light oily weathering and rain streaked affect.

A little update on the 1F with its little info file.

I've just added red rods that is all, but it does give it more of an industrial appearance. 

 

Model: Bachmann Midland 1F

Modifications: Driver, fireman (not fitted in the picture), RailTech transfers (NCB and 722), DCC chip & red rods

Brought from: BR Midland Region- 1965

Survived until: 1979

Worked on the Colliery doing: shunting, banking, exchange sidings & internal user traffic

Things to do: Kadee couplings, fireman & weathering 

*timeline may not match with real life*

Interested to see weathering on this. With that hunslet austerity I showed you, I've added some stripes, as of Cardiff East Moors Steelworks.

They both look great!

Thanks for the suggestion and I will check them out- as I will our channel!

What is the industrial shunter made from?

Thanks for posting

Oliver

The shunter is made from plasticard. 

Hi I love your industrial sort of theme. I sort of do some similar things, but I mainly model GWR and SR region heritage. But here I have attached some photos. 3 are of a scratch built industrial shunter I built and squeezed a Hornby chassis into. It's painted in BR green now, but could be in any livery really. Also I've converted a Hornby Austerity into a new livery, fictitious WD black, with original works number and custom etched nameplate from narrow planet, you should try them if you haven't already. Named after ww1 battleship, Renown. My YouTube channel is also called GWR 5764.
