Thanks Peter! I’m hoping The Wasp stripes aren’t above my airbrush abilities!Peter Butler wrote: ↑Sat Feb 23, 2019 12:54 pm That will be another triumphant makeover I'm sure..... I love the idea of fitting Brandbright vacuum bags..... not what you meant to say I know, but the image is wonderful. With that name it must be a 'castle class' loco.
‘Bags’ are actually what they’re known as on the Ff&WHR. Admittedly that might be a typical Ffestiniogism
Castle class was exactly what I was thinking! Another FRism!
More progress, this time with the loco’s chassis, this afternoon. Not the best paint job (the satin black is a little blotchy in places, a common problem I seem to have) but it’s fine from normal viewing distances. The colour scheme is a vast improvement on the original brandbright one. The original red is far too orangey IMO.
