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.

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.

 

Fiddly bits.......?:D

I don't get much time to work on my own rolling stock. But when I got 187 of Dave Bracken last Saturday I decided to try to over come a few problems with the looks of the loco

Now let's see you weather a loco that's recently been through the washer! :)

 

No problem Garfield it will be wee buns:cool: I will just have to wait till I get myself another 141/181 or a customer wants one like that. Have you any pictures of what you have in mind

I am in absolute awe of your talent, you are a true artist. Your ability to see the finished project before you start is a talent in it self. I will be using your services in the future.

 

Well done =D

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.

Nice to see the NIR blue Anthony with glimpses of your new layout level as well. Have you done a course in video editing – lots of new tricks in your latest video.

Saddened to hear you are not in the best of health Rich, I hope the recovery period is quick.
