Flying Scotsman 4472

Europe always gets it own way. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Fantastic work there Eoin

Brilliant work Tony

The Maplins speaker running free air make's a big difference that's the way I run my sound locos. Try attaching the Maplins speaker to the inside of the roof below the the grill (don't forget to remove the grey plastic covering the underside of the grill) and sealing all the way around it with blue tack or copydex to stop any noise cancellation that makes a big difference. The sound from the top of the speaker fires out through the top grill and the underside of the speaker fires into the loco body but the speaker must have an air tight seal around it.

I wonder if that excuse would work if I was caught at 60mph in a 60kph zone?

Don't worry about it Broithe the Garda don't have any fast cars like the UK and PSNI traffic branch if you have a fast motor you will out run them. :ROFL:

I bought this in Tesco's the other day a bit pricey at £7:95 but well worth it. Some great reading and full of fantastic pictures. I particularly like the photo of A4 Pacific hauling a full train of empty coal wagons.

Arran could you post up a link to your site please

Hi Anthoney,

Ballykay is looking GREAT !!!

 

PM sent re Outstanding repaints.

Cheere,

FrankS

AS you know your PM was replied to.

Wow I love this layout more pictures please.

Looking good Noel keep up the good work.

You got my vote

Dude, I hate to say it, but you've made a total mess of that kit. There are lumps hanging out in parts where they shouldn't and parts that aren't even close to being near where they should be.

 

take the thing apart and start again - and I mean this in the most positive spirit - it will help long term.

We all have to start some where but I do agree with Glenderg's comments. I think GSR 800 you have jumped in at the deep end on this one and destroyed it, you should have taken Garfield and Warbonnets advice at the start of this thread and started with several small brass kits and worked your way up to the level required to start this kit. Hopefully you might be able to salvage something from it but I think the damage is already done.

At 38sec you can see the 201 has a different shade of orange (i.e. much more yellow) than the coaches.

Yes that's correct its a good video that for showing the different shades of orange

Thanks Anto, I didn't think the Golden Brown was that dark.

 

Lovely work as usual, btw.

Check this video out about 4 min 30 sec it gives you a good idea of the shade of the colour

Exactly which coaches are painted in that colour, Anto?

Second photo 3rd coach down and fourth photo 5th and 7th coaches down

Thanks for posting those pictures Anthony. No further evidence needed as to the colour being incorrect on the Supertrain coaches as released. Which paint are you using to respray into CIE and IR liveries as it looks spot on?

The paint is phoenix precision CIE golden brown you can get it in Marks Models http://www.marksmodels.com/?pid=18593

I was looking for an original Mk 2d in Inter City livery placed with your Inter City repaint for a colour comparison Anto

So say post 686 compared to an original one

Ok Dave hope this is what you are after. First photo original black roof inter city standard with original ST composite.

Second photo top to bottom original BK roof inter city. Original ST composite. Repainted Composite

Third photo top to bottom. Original ST composite with a ST 1st class, white lines/roof painted and decals added

Fourth photo. Various originals and repaints etc

Anto

Can you stick a MM Mk 2 original beside one of your repaints please?

Like to see them together to see how they compare

Already did Dave check out post number 678. The mk2 1st isn't a repaint just decals added and roof/white lines painted. Will take some more photos tomorrow for you.

How did you get the paint job so perfect. such great lines.

just take your time when masking

Painted on a few white lines, some black paint on the roof, and added some decals to the super train mk2 1st class coach. The colour is an exact match for the existing intercity mk2's

With 216 being refitted for this I take it it will get an NIR equipment fit with TPWS and NIR radios seeing as this train will service Belfast.

From what I hear when the train is north of the border it will be hauled by NIR locos

banging on about it here

Pot kettle black. What's the last thing you were banging on about.

Thanks for the comments guys

The EGV is a repaint with light weathering and the 1st Class is just straight out of the box
