jhb171achill Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Thing is, the fantastically scenic end of Dugort Harbour was done by Kevan McIntosh, so I can claim zero credit for it ….. so it’s starting new skills for me that’s needed now! Thanks for the replies above, folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 84C Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Love the weathering on the J15! Rusty chimney and smokebox looks brilliant! I want to give mine the treatment, as also my 121, buuuuuut! So I'm thinking shut the eyes and dive in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But easier for me since I remember the last days of steam, so disgracefully filthy locos were “normal”! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a feature on a few weathered carriage windows which might look like an error to people who don't remember just how grimy things could be then. Small, clear circles on otherwise half-opaque windows. You would wander along the platform to spot an empty window seat, then wipe a patch, so that you could actually see out, then try to quickly get to the seat before anybody else did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
