Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 SD9? The addition of windows along the side really helps too. Yes SD9. The RTR already has windows in it. I just change the glass for clear instead of the black that comes with the loco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UP6936 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) The weathering shows up how crap the silver fox body really is Showing the usual degree of tact, I see.. I actually think the weathering improves the look of the body shell, and I feel that, as far as I can ascertain from the video and photos, this model is one of the best looking SF Sulzers yet Edited May 27, 2014 by UP6936 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The weathering shows up how crap the silver fox body really is Anto has poured (I'd imagine) hours into this, and to be credited whatsmore. It just doesn't look like a Sulzer and I can't put me finger on it.Think Ed is bang on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Phil Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Looking at photos the front seems to have a defined edge when it changes angle into the windscreen area but apart from that looks stunning. Great model mate. Keep up the top work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Phil Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Stephen I dumped the standard Silverfox chassis in favor of some American muscel. I hand built a chassis from plastic card and fitted it with Proto 2000 motor running gear and bogies. The good old SD9 chassis have served me well in my early days of modelling aussie prototype. Glad to hear its universal Great idea building a chassis out of plastic card. Was it overly hard? I only ask as have a couple of locos that need frames and was leaning towards brass scratch built but always feel stronger in my abilities with plastics.

heirflick Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I have to admit it - she looks stunning, espically in that livery. what make and shade of grey is it? is it a true representation of the actual grey used by CIE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 It is indeed, Heirflick. I have an actual sample in my possession. The model shows the dirt associated with use very convincingly too - important to note the unusual feature (for Britain and Ireland anyway) of grey (ie body colour) on motion, wheels, smokebox and chimney too. My elderly relative also confirms accuracy. In use, the grey tended to darken slightly with "cleaning" with oily rags, thus a very slightly darker shade would leo be acceptable, but that model is extremely well done.
