Broithe Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 That has to be the best representation of weathering that I've ever seen. Not just in terms of the appearence of the rust, etc., but in its positioning and 'style' - it's all just where it would be. I'm particularly noticing that the 'wear' on the steps is in just the right places. Top stuff - done by a true professional in the world of filth. Quote
Broithe Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I see that the diet's working, but I'm a little surprised that those nails don't get in the way on the fiddly bits. Quote

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 It's my favourite livery the 201 class to date has been painted in. I have a few rakes of NIR coaches so I decided to repaint one of my 201's into what has to be the best livery on Irish rails. Simple but nice. I've given 208 a very light weathering as I always remember the 2 NIR 201's in that livery been kept quite clean. Thanks to Steve at Railtec for the decals enjoy. Quote
