Ral2011 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Your Class 80 is absolutely great and very inspiring. What kind of primer do you use? A primer only or a primer/filler. I aks because my primer does drops and has to sanded, yours look absolutely flawless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Train model Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 The whole thing is flawless even in primer I had a look at it before and after it was sprayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

33lima Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hi Ral I just use car aerosol grey primer from cans, Halfords in this case, acryllic.Seems to give a decent finish, without any 'orange skin' effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Very nice video well done. I think the guy in the DHL van is lost though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33lima Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Have just about completed a second set, finished in surburban sector livery and seen below alongside my original model, from the early 1990s. I think I prefer the Ford Ivory I used this time as cream, in place of the somewhat yellow Triumph Honeysuckle used originally (which I could have got mixed but is no longer on the shelves). The other colour is the same, Ford Monza Red IIRC...or was it Flame Red? Anyway, the new model was made exactly as per the intercity/corporate 'bumblebee'-liveried set, from two Tri-ang Hornby Mk2a TSO coaches and one of their Mk2a brakes. Apart from the livery, the only difference is that this time the Hornby HST bogies in the power car are fitted to a modified and extended HST power car underframe, instead of modifying the coach floor unit. Suburban lettering is 5mm Helvetica Letraset or Eddings rub-down transfers (protected by a light coat overall of varnish), car numbers are Ratio coach numbers, white & orange lining is Model Technics Trimline. NIR logos are hand-painted. Edited April 19, 2015 by 33lima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverbird81 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 the 80 class 3 units I think, maroon & silver livery with Irish rail logos were in service south of the border on loan from NIR. Irish rail used the 3 units as one 9 car unit for the all Ireland final to keep up with demand. So there is hope for use as Irish rail 80class as well as NIR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverbird81 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 This is one of the units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Just for info - point of clarification - the maroon had grey with it, rather than the silver currently used with the blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
