Evening lads,

 

After getting 233 off Mr Graham before Christmas,I tried a little weathering of my own this evening,

Here is 233 getting used to Enterprise duties earlier,passing 8208,209 and 112 on shed-it could even be York road depot from this angle

077 on the empty timber train,

221 on a Mk2 set,and 233 pushing the Enterprise with DVT 9001 leading.

A great effort on the weathering Noel the loco looks well worked and that is the finish you want. Weathering can be a bit like soldering to some people and can seem daunting, but once you get your head around it you get confidence, and with that confidence you can achieve great results. The model is now uniquely yours and no one else has one like it.

 

Rich,

A new arrival on Tara Junction

 

A big thank you to Tom at Irish Freight Models for building the wagons of the Weedspray train for me,

You done a superb job

I can now couple them up to the weedspray coach 3187 and give them a trial run behind 071

The driver of 071 has a chat with the local Perway inspector.

The weedspray looks amazing Noel, huge respect to the builder. I love the container. It's an iconic train on the prototype and the model adds huge believability to the layout.

Great shots.

 

Those figures are some of the very best I've seen - has the driver got a can of lager' date=' though..?[/quote']

 

It's a can of Red Bull Broithe....he will need a lot of those over the coming months when he's working the weedsprayer and autoballaster trains

Thanks again lads for your comments,

Two photos from earlier of the weedspray with 177+175 hauling it.

I gave the weed spraying equipment in coach 3187 a test this morning-and it worked...!!!

I used some Humbrol weathering powder to get the white spray effect on the train,
