iarnrod Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Thanks for posting those pictures Anthony. No further evidence needed as to the colour being incorrect on the Supertrain coaches as released. Which paint are you using to respray into CIE and IR liveries as it looks spot on? Quote

The paint is phoenix precision CIE golden brown you can get it in Marks Models http://www.marksmodels.com/?pid=18593 Quote
irishthump Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 The paint is phoenix precision CIE golden brown you can get it in Marks Models http://www.marksmodels.com/?pid=18593 Exactly which coaches are painted in that colour, Anto? Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 Exactly which coaches are painted in that colour, Anto? Second photo 3rd coach down and fourth photo 5th and 7th coaches down Quote
irishthump Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Second photo 3rd coach down and fourth photo 5th and 7th coaches down Thanks Anto, I didn't think the Golden Brown was that dark. Lovely work as usual, btw. Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 Thanks Anto, I didn't think the Golden Brown was that dark. Lovely work as usual, btw. Check this video out about 4 min 30 sec it gives you a good idea of the shade of the colour Quote
Noel Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 At 38sec you can see the 201 has a different shade of orange (i.e. much more yellow) than the coaches. Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Posted April 25, 2015 At 38sec you can see the 201 has a different shade of orange (i.e. much more yellow) than the coaches. Yes that's correct its a good video that for showing the different shades of orange Quote
burnthebox Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 At 1min 11sec the colours / Orange is blatant, so which is the correct one, or are the 201's a breed of their own !! Quote
Noel Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 At 1min 11sec the colours / Orange is blatant, so which is the correct one, or are the 201's a breed of their own !! Yes that's a good comparison point on the clip and the difference is stark. The 201 Orange is closer to the mm mk2d models in IE/IR tippex and ST liveries which IMHO are too orange (ie too much yellow, not enough red). The coaches have less yellow and more red. The black roofed models don't look as stark as the orange roofed ones. In fairness one cannot be accurate from videos and photos due to different lighting and white balance tones. Also orange roofed models tend to suffer from modellers birds eye viewing syndrome compared to side on view we are used to on the prototypes. IMHO a bit of gentle weathering is an easy fix to help tone down the 'bright orange' colour especially the orange roofed mk2ds. About to try this myself soon. Quote

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Posted July 31, 2015 Fitted a sound decoder to Merlin and lights. Enjoy the videos. [video=youtube;U-gaeW903kI] Quote
closetmodeller Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Fitted a sound decoder to Merlin and lights. Enjoy the videos. Very convincing sound and splendid model. Love the layout too. Quote
burnthebox Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Anthony sir, you have surpassed yourself, ( did'nt think it was possible ) pure class, I think I saw smoke, I was so engrossed in those video's I got lost, pure magic, Quote
jhb171achill Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 That's just unbelievable. That's the very top end of modelling in all respects. Quote
Broithe Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I think I saw smoke I could smell it. That's just unbelievable. Or, completely believable - it amounts to the same thing. Where do you go from here....? Quote
jhb171achill Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Where do we go from here? RPSI website for the next trip to Ballykay, that's where..... Quote
Portoman Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Excellent as usual Anthony , camera angles make it look so realistic. Quote
Noel Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 That is just amazing. Really loved watching those two videos and the scenes were almost like watching an old movie. Stunning. What sound project/decoder was in Merlin and also the baby GM sounded pretty good? Quote
irishthump Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Fantastic! What decoders are you using? Is that a Loksound in the 141? Quote
GSR 800 Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Excellent work. So good it brought shivers down my spine Quote
Railer Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Love the RPSI Mk2 set. Could you do a guide on how you made ex547, and what Mk2D did you used for the respray of 303? Quote
BosKonay Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Good lord Anthony! Passing off videos of the real thing eh!! Just unbelievable!!! Quote
DiveController Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Very impressive, Anthony! Seriously, enjoyed that very much. Great motivation for the rest of us to see it. Quote
iarnrod Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Seriously top drawer modelling there, Anthony. Quote
ttc0169 Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Excellent video Anthony....it's what railway modelling is all about....recreating the real thing in miniature and getting enjoyment out of it...you have certainly done that-well done. Quote
popeye Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 It is going to be hard for you to better that. Great model, sound and video. Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 Thanks for all your comments guys I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. Quote
