brian daniels Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have just received my set of nameplates for 60085 from Severnmill, and very nice they are too. I have just got to paint them. I am going to like painting the BMW logo! He is adding a few more class 60's and other diesels to his range apparently. All I need now is another class 60 to paint into EWS livery. He also sent me the Lion and Wheel for D1000 etc. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fay Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 I spoke to Chris recently and he said he was going to do a batch of plates for the 60s and hopefully the brush builders plates, looks like he has done a great job Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hi All, Nice plates for 60085. I've been doing some designs for something else and added in a couple of sixty names at first and then went completely mad!!!! All these are etched onto 12thou nickel silver, spray painted whilst on the sheet and then the faces are polished. I think what made me do most of them was the research as I have a couple of the real plates. Then I logged onto the auction sites which give dimensions of most of the plates when EWS auctioned them off a couple of years ago (maybe longer). I'm going to do the builders plates but I think etching them onto 0.2mm thick metal as the real ones are thin ally. So if anybody needs any names PM and I'm sure we can come to some arrangement. I still haven't etched the 'Eastern' nameplate as I can't get the font right. Cheers Vin PS this camera is getting worse. It has real trouble focusing on shiny or black things, which these plates are!!!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
warranty repair Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Don't forget the style of worksplate changed mid build! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi, Totally agree with you about the style of works plate changing part way through the build. I wonder if anyone knows when they changed? The later ones are also the same style as the class 92 which are smaller in size compared to the class 60 versions. Regards Vin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if anyone knows when they changed? The later ones are also the same style as the class 92 which are smaller in size compared to the class 60 versions. Regards Vin 60001 - 60012 carried Brush Electrical Machines plates dated 1989. 60013 - 60053 carried Brush Electrical Machines plates dated 1990. 60054 was the first loco to carry a Brush Traction worksplate, 60054 - 60098 carried Brush Traction plates dated 1991. 60099 and 60100 carried Brush Traction plates dated 1992. The years on the worksplates are the contractual delivery years and not the actual release year. Class 92 worksplates are different to 60s as 60s have 'Hawker Siddeley' in the outside frame which is painted black on 60s. On 92s the frame is solid (no Hawker Siddeley wording) and painted green. Class 92 worksplates are also exactly the same size as class 60 worksplates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi Cheers for the info. That's a great help. I'll have to find my prototype works plates. I've got one off 60085 marked 1991 but I'm sure the class 92 one off 92027 is about 10mm smaller all the way round. Regards Vin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian daniels Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I have made a start on weathering 60098. Looking at pictures from their early years the bodies were kept quite clean. Whilst I had the body off I thought I had better take a picture of the Loadhaul 60008 on the chassis. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian daniels Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I have just finished painting the second class 60 sample into EWS livery as this is one of the three liveries Heljan are doing. The finished model will have EWS printed on and a transfer sheet with the front and side numbers to make your own up. I have also fitted this with a Howes sound chip and a Cliff Williams speaker. It should be on my demo stand at Telford if you want to hear it, that is unless Tower or Heljan want it back! 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian daniels Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 The maroon looks awful in these pictures, trust me it's a lot darker looking at sit here on the kitchen table. If we get a third sample? I will do it as 60040 EWS maroon Army flag livery or 60006 BSC Blue, can't make my mind up yet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Looks alright to my old eyesight Brian - Army Flag for me if you want votes, and if you get another, how about Mainline Blue. Cheers, Bob. Edited July 13, 2014 by bobster 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple identity account Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 60040 "Territorial Army Centenary"60099 DB Schenker TATA STEEL 600XX DRAX Power Stationor 60078 in Mainline Blue :P these locos would get my votes if you doing another. BTW the EWS version looks absolutely wonderful. Where did you get the EWS transfers from? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian daniels Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thankfully Jeffery B I have some Fox EWS transfers from years ago that had the EWS Beasties with them, I have enough for a couple more EWS livery locos if I need them. I also have their set fot 60006/033 for the BSC blue 60's that has the silver Beasties in it. One thing that I am surprised at is that as far as I know nobody does the yellow strip at the bottom of the body do they? On this I used some yellow self adhesive lining tape I bought in the US a few years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Iirc the real EWS livery used reflective hi-vis tape along the bottom edge of the loco's, so you are just following the prototype using tape. Have you managed to get it just like the real thing that if you take a photo side on with flash, you get the glare/flash reflecting off the bottom hi-viz strip?
