CazRail Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Found that Presicion do TfW transfers, and duly ordered a set hopefully to arrive today or tomorrow. In the meantime, my ViTrains DB 37419 has had its roof colour corrected... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazRail Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Tonight, I got the 153 completed tonight, just needs the body fettling to get it to fit better. Youll see in addition to the already fitted lights, Ive painted the interior to suit. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy water Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Great! Who’s paint and which tin numbers did you use on the class 153? Is it the same as the new MK4 DVT and clas 67 combo? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazRail Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 The paints i used are acrylics, and are Vallejo Model Air 71.119 White Grey Railmatch 2275 DB Red Railmatch 2276 DB Grey Railmatch 2205 Black Vallejo Model Air 71.083 Orange (for cantrail) I doubt the DB colours are correct, but look right to my eyes. Im planning on creating a 67 and Mk4 DVT, but the DVT will want some work! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Not sure about the grey, but both DB red and TFW red share the same name (Traffic Red) and RAL number (3020) so good choice Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RAL for the Vallejo white grey is 9002, which Ive seen someone mention it to be same as TfW grey on Bookface (be it right or wrong I don't know), on the model i think its a tad too white but Im happy enough with it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 It's 7035 on the list I've seen, but looks spot on on your 153! Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazRail Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Having been stood down from work on Tuesday, I like many have found myself with quite a bit of free time, so Ive decided to weather a few locos. First one complete was 37414. Next up will be Transrail 37430, and then hopefully 56003. Hope everyone is well, and keeping safe.

CazRail Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 And so I've done 430. A weathering really improves the look of a Vi 37. Next project will be to set up a rake of 4 reggie rail coaches for them to haul. I've already got two standard open mk1s, one being Bachmann reggie the othe Hornby chocolate and cream. Trouble is, the RR mk2s from Bachmann are expensive. So Im buying older ones to re-spray. Already bought paint (Rainbow Railways acrylic), and a BFK. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveyDee68 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi Got myself an airbrush kit a year ago, and haven't had the nerve to use it yet! Very impressed by your weathering - I do like Class 37s even though I don't have any myself! Will watch out for further updates during our enforced extended modelling period!

CazRail Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 A little update on the Regional Railways coaches... The re-spray of the BFK coach is progressing well, with white, rail grey and provincial blue now applied. Next up for that will be Regional railways light blue for the stripe, then the black ends. The other two coaches, the mk1 TSOs, as well as the BFK have both been fitted with lights, using the same method as Everard Junction in his latest video. This picture shows me testing one of the lighting circuits, as you can see gives a fairly realistic level of light. All coaches will now need people fitting, and eventually weathering. Hope everyone is well and safe. Caz. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazRail Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 The latest... Lining is out of proportion but Im going to try remidy that by dropping the dark blue a tad. Otherwise very happy, the most complex re-spray Ive done to date, and a tricky one to get right I've found. To add next, black ends, roof, yellow for the first class and green above the luggage doors. Today some DCC Concepts pick-ups arrived, and duly installed in the BFK's chassis, and in the two mk1 TSOs ive got. They come with small self tapper screws, so a pilot hole of the appropriate size is all thats needed to do to fit these. Thanks for looking! 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazRail Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 This evening, after I got my little one to sleep, I decided to start to correct the lining in the BFK/BSK. I started with the blue, which I simply extended upwards by eye. Hopefully all being well, I'll extent the rail grey to suit, then it should be fine, I've now sourced two Mk2a TSOs to complete my rake, which will be the next into my paint shop. I've also been commissioned by Jack to re-spray him a set, so will keep me busy over the next few weeks. Numbering wise, I've decided to use some info Merfyn provided on another thread, numbering both mine and Jack's vehicles from that. My rake will be munbered 5271, 35516, 5365 and 4873(Mk1TSO). I will find a number for my chocolate and cream one at a later date. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazRail Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Unintentionally busy day on the workbench today, my BSK's stripes have now been corrected... Initially I wasn't going to do it, but am now glad I have! Also, the first of Jacks Mk2s are primed. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazRail Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Update with the two commissioned Mk2 TSOs... The grey next, then black ends. Stripes have come out better this time. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries mate, first two ready for transfers now. Today I completed my BFK... The green above the luggage doors is too dark, but I can live with that for now anyway. Very happy with how this project is coming along. Edited June 1, 2020 by CazRail 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazRail Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 A little Update. Jack's BFK is now complete... Also competed and re-assembled this morning was one of my TSOs, which is fitted with lighting and populated. Two more TSOs and then the project will be complete! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazRail Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 The final two completed! This livery takes a lot of masking, which is a job that I'm not fond of... Jack's final coach My final coach. My coaches are populated and fitted with lights, and will eventually be suitably weathered. I'll post a photo of my full rake tomorrow in natural light. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
