Perfection, a shame to paint it!

Nicely done, I need to do the same on my 5" loco as the chimney base is not finished off evenly on all sides.

And the hits just keep on rolling Andrew!

Let me know if you need help with your Russell.

Looks like you have 'nailed' that wagon Andrew.

I am a fan of chemical blackening and have moved on to this product which is a true four stage room temperature process:

Wonderful pictures Grant showing what I would of wanted my railway to look like but never was.

The loco looks just right with a mix of matt and shine just like the real thing.

Individual planks are the way to go.

The laser cut kits don't look realistic with their perfect precision planking.

The weathering looks just right Andrew, great work.

Nicely done Dave!

That does look good Rik, you have done well given the recent weather!

You don't need a special charger Andrew

Agree with Graeme, Eneloop batteries are the way to go.

The cunning plan comes together, great idea.

Contact them, they may replace it FOC.

Glad to hear from you Mark!

Have you considered chemical blackening?
