RMweb Premium cnw6847 Posted August 26, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 26, 2014 Its been some time since I've posted anything about my 009 layout and stock. Having a bit more time lately I have made a bit of progress with some stock, I have been experimenting with colours. I wanted the colours to be a bit different but hopefully realistic. I have used Humbrol enamels but not specific railway colours. Decals are Microscale. Passenger stock. Sides. Humbrol Gloss 15 - Midnight Blue Humbrol Gloss 41 - Ivory Roof. Humbrol Matt 66 - Dark Grey Underframes. Matt Black Freight Stock. Bodies - Humbrol Satin 133 - Brown Underframes - Matt Black I have repainted a Peco Brake coach Next is a Airfix OO Brake van my dad built about 30 years ago, I've adopted and painted it. It will be used with two of the Chivers Tramway coaches which I shall buy in due course. I built my free Colin Ashby open wagon I received for joining the 009 Society, its been painted but still needs lettering etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium cnw6847 Posted September 2, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 2, 2014 I Have tried satin varnish but thought the items still looked a little shiny so I have opted for matt. I am quite pleased with the finish. I have decaled the open wagon, not 100% sure about the lettering. Its not been matt varnished yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium cnw6847 Posted November 15, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 15, 2014 The land around the Ink Factory that the B&BR served was said to be polluted and even the River Waveney was reported to be discoloured because of the pollution. I have built a Meridian Models Water wagon to provide clean water to the factory and the managers house. I will do a couple more in the future I have decaled the other side of the open wagon and tried a different option as I wasn't sure about the smaller lettering.I think I will vary the font size on different wagons. That will also help use up the different size letters on the decal sheet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium cnw6847 Posted November 17, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2014 I had pre-ordered 2 Peco open wagons and 2 vans in unlettered grey.Since ordering them I had decided to paint my stock brown so they have been through the paint shops.Here they are ex-works with metal wheels and some lead weight fitted.
