More or less finished painting the hymek.fronts need a tidy up and bogies need a proper paint but otherwise its looking better than i thought .tis by no means perfect.good enough for me though.
-
Its just a bit of whimsy .I'm going to try do my own version of the trainset I got in the 70s but in 0 gauge
-
Iv had a go painting with an airbrush .itss new thing to me.i bought 2 big big hymeks to practice on before I spend 700 quid on a heljan 0 gauge hymek .I used a vallejo grey primer and the orange top coat was very dark.anyways the hymek was 51 ft in real life and the 141 class was 44 ft.in 0 gauge its about 50mm shorter than the hymek if a model came to market hint hint.its got to be redone I just thought I'd post a pic of the first attempt at it.

Iv a pile of projects I keep adding to.really need to sit down and get them done.
-
Yeah I'm going scan and print a few spares off.can cut it up for individual panels
-
Bought an alphagraphix kit of a 141 to get a feel of the size of a gm in 0 gauge
-
141 would be ideal.i got a 30 ton brake from enda at Ck prints.tis a fine bit thing.could do a shunting layout with a 141 and a few wagons

Honestly fair play.getting curves in brass correctly. Wouldn't have the skill or patience myself.

Thats great work dave.is the roof brass? Had an Amazon delivery left in green bin .forgot about it til after bin collection day.600 dog poo bags went to recycling
-
Thats exactly it.its not meant to accurate its just a bit of fun .I'm a 54 year old child.and I want to play trains.after taking it out to have a look at it. i can understand the draw of the scale.a 141 121 in this scale would be outstanding.
