Love the wagons. Beautiful paint job, i thought they were real at first.
-
Thanks for that info, it is a big help. I thought it looked a bit like the coach in the picture below. Can anyone tell me the history of this coach?
-
My next question is this, I have bought this Ratio coach and intend to paint it CIE green with a snail to make it look like an old GSWR coach and i need to know what the numbers might be and where they would be on the sides?
-
Thank you Sir. I have been trying to find that out for quite a while.
-
Can i ask if anyone would know were the railcars all numbered starting with the number 2xxx used on the green and orange & black, Then changed To 6xxx when used for push-pull?
-
Could the neg's be scanned onto a computer and then made positive and then adjust brightness/contrast etc, so they can be saved that way instead of putting them through a lab?
-
Very realistic & nice weathering. Are you going to do some Irish ones ?
-
beautiful scenes. Can you say what are their locations?
-
When i got it, it was bright orange so i put some brown on it and it looks ok. The slow running is very good right down to a crawl, but keep the track clean.

Got the Black Beetle into my C Class. It's 15:1 ratio with 34mm wheelbase and 12mm wheels. It runs very well, i tried pulling 9 wagons and no problem at all, it could pull more. Along with the other bogie it has all wheel pickup and runs over points well. This last pic shows the old motor nearest camera, it was a rough runner.

Try laying the model on one side and dont hold the spray can too close and build up the paint in thin layers. I sometimes blow hot air to speed up the drying but never heat it to much or the paint will bubble & plastic will warp. If you dry brush a bit of brown over the transfers it will help to make them blend in with the rest of the model as the white can be to clean and bright.

I bought a Tenshodo motor bogie and thought that it was not that great, so i am going to try a Black Beetle in my C Class and see how it goes. If that works then i will do another C Class. Im building a Plasser Tamper Machine so i might use one for that.
-
That's a nice set of vans. What colour of green did you use for the post van?
-
I found this pic on the web and thought it might be of use to you.
-
I think you can get the 32mm wheel base ok, not sure about the wheel size. I will give Charlie a call and see. Another way is to use a Highlevel moter & Gears which work well and you have combinations of ratio & Yashima motor (which are great). I have used two of these in G class shunters and they work well. There is a plan of the gears on their website. http://www.highlevelkits.co.uk Here is a pic of one in my G class chassis, it only has one driving axle.
-
I was going to get a silver fox C class and use Black Beetle moter bogies, but i don,t know if one power bogie would be enough. Has anyone tried these yet?
-
Here is a picture that i found on the web. I think the snail & lining look almost white.
-
here is a pic of a Dapol class B oil tank wagon that i have just finished. Also two pic's of the real thing.
-
Here is a pic of a coach with Humbrol satin 131 so you can see how it looks.
-
Looks great so far and the seating looks spot on, great work. Pick a shade from this. Im building one of these also and the green i am going to use is Humbrol satin green 131, which is a little light so i will add a bit of black and see how it turns out.
-
Here are a few pic's of oil wagons. ESSO are mine repainted from Bachmann Fina tanks. Irish Shell is by Andrew Shillito, 3mm Society.
-
Very nice, i like that shade of blue. Now what about a bit of dirt?
-
They all look amazing, great job.
-
Nice work George, put some containers on them to see how they look behind a loco.
-
Love the signal box, looks great. Well done.
