Now yer just spoiling us

 

Did you paint the concrete at all before ballasting?

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

Stephen I used Woodland Scenics fine light grey ballast and mixed in this

I would advise you to go for the N/Z gauge ballast he sells as I think the OO is a little on the bid side

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

No Stephen I painted the rails then laid the ballast using isopropanol alcohol and PVA then I painted everything

[BosKonay]

Looks great! I read some advice on the UK sites to paint the concrete sleepers with grey primer and beige spray first, but your looks deadly just the way it is!

The only thing I hate after painting the track is cleaning the rails

[BosKonay]

Some advice I got from the lads at dcc concepts - keep a short bit of 2x1 in a tin of spirits. When done painting, just run the wood over the rail top - instant clean rails

I recently weathered these for djkonore in the States

Anto I remember seeing a tool a few years ago for painting rail sides. I will see if I can find the resource again.

Anto I should of course have added excellent work as usual mate.

Only Anto could weather a wagon that says 2013 on it, It should not be out of the paint shop yet, DOH!

[BosKonay]

[Broithe]

If that's the case he has all the 071s and they are weathered and clocking up miles while the rest of us are still waiting for the first one.

[enniscorthyman]

Lovely job on the wagons Bud.

Sorry, but my head nearly exploded listening to the commentary on that video.

 

It's hard to go wrong with Everard Junction's tutorials:

The only one I found disappointing was his weathering method...

 

 

 

PS: was Anto actually looking for ballasting advice here?

[burnthebox]

Sorry about that !! forgot to check volume,

I recently got this Scania 480. I painted the unit red and de liveried the trailer and painted it white. I did a few small modifications to the unit

I put super singles on the front steer and mid lift axles, I gave the mirrors a coating of red and fitted a air condition unit to the roof.
