Cue the age-old bodge of weathering to cover it!

And a little touch of a red fine-liner would do the trick …

Great Northern steam superpower.  Aesthetically pleasing from any angle.

The buses wanted to get in on the fun as well.

My first ever locomotive renumbering!  OO Works UG previously in UTA livery as No. 49, is now GNR 147 in plain black.

Excellent work Patrick, and I think actually shows off lines of loco better

Black beauties at Clogherhead this afternoon

Fab work Patrick. Have you thought of putting a few slivers of red painted plastic bar between the frames of the UG? Would be a nice little hint at valve gear…..

Actually yes.....there are a few small tweaks which could be made:

* Open out the top of the chimney (these are solid on both my OO Works locos)

* Coal in the bunker

* Crew in the cab

* Valve gear underneath (access easier from the fireman's side)

* Subtle weathering

This could become obsessive!
