since my new simplex arrived this morning looking like this

Iv repainted it and added metal details

all it really needs now is a chassis

Hi

Yes it looks great, make sure you get the ip chassis as this will fix on ok ,and get the 4 wheel drive for more pulling power.

i very like the rust efffect on the body work i would do that on my rapier how did you do that

Realrust from Busybodies, its just a fine iron powder that you sprinkle on the wet paint and when its dryed you splash some viniger on it and it goes rusty

Steel oxidises because it has Iron in it so it'll work

Looks very good, and a neat little train you've got there as well

But workshop iron fileings might be a tad large to scale.

That looks nice Pauly. Why has it only got 3 wheels on the track in the second pic ?
