RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted March 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2019 Has anyone had experience of the new £7 value weathering? Just noticed on their website today when I was going to order a few things. Want to gauge some opinion before I do though. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
How about a Dictator Loco Class? Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 What do you want to know please? They're more basic weatherings but include buffer grease, fuel runs, exhaust, varnish sealed. Usually a two colour weathering. Light to medium and you leave it to them to know how to pull it off. For those not mad on high detail it makes the models look more realistic for less money. Its like TMC's entry level weathering. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers What scale and type of rolling stock have you seen the £7 Value Weathering priced at? I've looked at 00 scale, and found small Wagons @ £4, Large Wagons @ £8, coaches also at £8 and modern image locos at £22.50. Guess I was expecting too much for a Value Loco weathering at £7.

tmc Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 We offer three levels of weathering:- VALUE is a light to medium weathering, or lighter if more historically accurate, typically using two colours. STANDARD you can choose from light, medium or heavy weathering using more colours and showing more detail than value weathering. DELUXE uses various techniques and as many colours as necessary to interpret dirt, rust, grime, soot, water, limescale, oil deposits and much more. Pictures can be supplied to guide our technicians to your exact specification. OO & N Gauge O Gauge Hope this helps 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted August 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 7, 2019 @tmc have you got any pictures showing the differences between value, standard and deluxe weathering? Steven B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmc Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hello Steven, yes here is a screen shot from one of our magazine ads: Probably not actually the clearest of pictures but you get the idea of the quality, it's still a really good standard of weathering, you get the buffer grease still and everything you expect. The reason we can offer it cheaper is because there are no specific details from the customer it is able to pass through the workshop faster so we can pass on that saving to our customers. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted August 16, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 16, 2019 Nice weathering and good value, Pedant hat on but shouldnt the route restriction for the WR 9F be blue circle rather than yellow? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JohnR Posted August 16, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 16, 2019 What would be better for comparison is if the same model shows off the different levels of weathering. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Vecchio Posted August 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Have the value weathering on a Webb Coal Tank and I think it is just right. Too much would look like a not at all looked after engine. Liked it, is value for money. The only thing was that I had to clean pick ups and wheels to make it run properly. Will definitely use their service again. Had a visit of their shop today. Impressive stock on display. Impressive selection of scenery materials. Not to forget the location! The NYMR is running just a stone throw below the location! You are just in the middle of the North York moors national park. Unfortunately 206 miles from my home... If anybody want to see a photo of the weathered coal tank- only next week as I am currently in Yorkshire on holiday....

Mark Alfa Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Recently purchased a TTA in store from TMC with the deluxe weathering added so here is a few pics of it. I can’t comment on the value or standard but to me the deluxe finish looks spot on. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
