Flying Scotsman 4472 replied to Garfield's topic in Letting off Steam
Just seen it on the BBC 1 o'clock news it will be great to see another old girl take to the sky. There was also a news item on just before Xmas about some Spitfire's buried some where in Asia during the end of the Second World War and the hunt is on to find them. So it just goes to show you that you don't know what's hidden out there. -
Thanks guys

Which track, code 75 or code 100
Flying Scotsman 4472 replied to Dave's question in Questions & Answers
Dave when your up with me you can have a look at my code 100 track and that should give you an idea after seeing Boskonay's code 75 as to what way you want to go. I chose the code 100 as I've some older stock I like to run from time to time that wouldn't run on the code 75. With over 50 Lima mk3's it just made more sense to to me to stick with the code 100. -
No mate the K Class and J17 will probably be left as is. Although a very light smoke dusting along the top of the boiler and roof my be applied just to make them look like they are well looked after preserved RPSI locos on rail tours

Looks like a young Garfield and Warbonnet on the box :dancing: -
Yes they are a good company they used to airbrush a lot of the competition show cars. I remember them painting Phil Neil's from Portadown Audio Advice Renault 19. An absolute stunning paint job. http://2004.mtxaudio.eu/spip.php?article1188

Seamus I used various humbrol paints mixed together to get a colour I was happy with. The J17 I did a slightly lighter shade than the K Class. Jhb171achill was saying that there should be a tinge of blue in the K class grey and it took me a long time to achieve this and looking at photos etc I'm not saying I've cracked it but its as close to the photos as I can make out. Take a look at the K Class in the last 4 pics in the link below as its under different light and you can see the colour better. http://www.irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/1323-CIE-K-Class

Jhb171achill said that a lot of steamers ran with eau de nil flying snails and pale yellow numbers. As for running she is a beaut but doesn't have the pulling power of the K Class I did http://www.irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/1323-CIE-K-Class
