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...

irishthump Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Nice work. Personally I'd put a heavy layer of track/brake dust on the bogies an underframe, but it still looks great. 1 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.
