Stu Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 In between doubling my Vampire collection got sucked in by this. Based on livery/condition around 2000 I've repainted Hornby 08 and similarly mangled a Bacchy OBA. The 08 repaint was relatively straightforward in spite of not being able to remove any hand rails. Both were done with Precision paints, a mix of Fox and Railtec decals. Weathering is based on assorted photo’s in a continuing effort to improve my artistic interpretation of the real things rather than something more generic. The 08 was inspired by http://www.flickr.com/photos/55938574@N03/10141192855/. Anyhow it kept me out the pub…... sort of! Thanks for lookingStu 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the comments, I'm pleased with the results though I now need a few more suitable wagons. Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon 64 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Brings back many memories of being stuck on them at 03.00 at Bromford Yard (just outside of Birmingham) wondering if I had made the right career choice . Seriously though, great weathering on loco and wagon just as I remember them. Edited October 21, 2013 by simon 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
