Apologies for delay replying, catching up now.
Hi popeye. Its an RTR Silver Fox model of an AEC converted to a driving trailer. I plan to use it with a C class push/pull and an MM 121 class push/pull which was rare but did happen.
Cheers Robbie. Early days with lots to do, but hopefully in the next year I will try to make proper custom platforms and make a pseudo Kingsbridge multiple pitched roof, but that is largely transparent for viewing the trains from above.
Well it will always be a sort of place the time lord Dr Who visited concurrently in the 50s/60s/70s and even 90s, and even some occasional LMS & GWR visitors Forgive the 'revolutionary' pun and paradox, but B&T livery locos will rule Kingsbridge.
Thanks Jason. I now need to darken and/or weather the orange on my other MM Mk2's to match it.
Hi rebelred, thanks, but it did take me a few months before I got the courage to get moving and start trying the airbrush, fearing the stock I might ruin. So started trying out the airbrush on sheets of A4 paper, then track weathering which needs little precision and very forgiving, then some old Triang Hornby stock and bodies which I used as training donors, and then finally some stock I didn't want to make a mess of. Btw, I wouldn't take any advice from me, I'm a complete beginner, there are some talented and experienced 'masters' on here.
I found looking at lots of youtube videos and in particular reading RMweb threads on painting and weathering very informative. However I risked spending forever researching, especially with the hint of OCD I suffer, rather than just getting out the air brush and getting dirty. I had an irrational fear of destroying my airbrush by not cleaning it up properly. Richie kindly gave me a good head start about this time two years ago with an excellent airbrush demo session, and great advice on air brushes, compressors and paints, but it was only a few months ago before I finally put paint in the cup. I've made some major mess ups but can't learn with out taking a few risks and doing stuff. I've learned that I have a heck of a lot to learn, but loving the journey. Coach resprays will be the next big step up and then weather one of my B&T 141s (shudder).
