Chris Incredible stuff altogether, the grey streaks on the black paint at the bonnet end are exactly the way they looked, when the paint started to fade. Some serious weathering skills there Chris, well done sir. Paul 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent all of yesterday with friend Barry Carse going through severl thousand pictures with a view to organising our next book. many of these were taken in the 1970s and 80s - locomotives usually clean, but some absolutely filthy. By the 1990s, those facing retirement - first the "A"'s, then the 121 / 141 / 181s - were to be seen in an absolutely atrocious state of filth, and with badly faded paintwork and rust too. Plenty of prototypical scope for a "weatherer"! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While having no memory of this locomotive and having to relay on pictures taken by others it is great to hear such remarks from those that do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dempsey Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Current project underway cause I didn't have enough. Having pickup up my first non irish American locomotive I've set about adding details with a view to livery change and weathering. Beginning with replacing and updating the motherboard and adding sound the next step is adding fuel tank details along with brass non slip walkways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempsey Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 Update: All the brass eched non-slip walkways fitted from cannon & company. Also added was cast snow plow to the lead end and hoses from details west. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 The detailing is excellent, @Dempsey. Makes it look more like O Gauge than HO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Lovely job. The plow and hoses are a great addition, and finish off the lead end nicely. The added detail also bulks up the look of the model, which is something I've always liked about the SD40. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at a ditch lighting kit to add, which is inexpensive the shipping and customs charge is ridiculous. I'm a fan of the SD40 myself but not the current livery so have a few ideas to change it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
