    Did it fall from a plane? You might be able to get some new parts from IRM. And lots of weathering could hide any bad damage. good luck.

    Unbelievable and stunning. Weathering is something you get better at the more you do and learn to observe what the colours really are on the real thing and never over do it. I would use 6 or 7 different colours which helps to create the right overall look.

    I have found acrylic on enamel to work ok, as long as it's not to heavy and wet. I have had a lot more trouble with acrylic varnish spray cans, it needs to be well shaken not stirred.

    I see from the instructions that the Halfords primer is acrylic, I never knew that. But it seems to work ok with enamel paints.

    I called into Halfords today to get some grey primer. For 500ml it used to be £7.49 but now it costs £11.99. So I will be getting it elsewhere from now on.

    Nice loco, I hated the grey at first but it's ok now. Pity about the carrier film, may be redo that as well.

    It does convey a general impression of the thing And the paint, lining, colour and lettering look good to me. Very nice.

    WOW I thought I was looking at the real thing. The track weathering is the best I have ever seen.

    I got a small parcel from Royal Mail a while back. It should have been signed for but he left it outside the door in the rain and left without a signature. It was soaked as it was only wrapped in brown paper. Very bad service.

    Nice figures and cats. You will need yellow lines on platforms or they might loose their legs and become loco drivers.
