Accucraft Leader - Lining

Post by -steves- » Mon Oct 10, 2011 2:50 pm

A while back I posted up about putting radio control into my Accucraft leader, a job I was very pleased with, and before that I had asked about lining it out.

Well at the weekend I sat down and decided I would start the lining process. I had purchased some water slide transfers which had been produced for me by cbtransfers and put them on, of course, applying laquer after they had thoroughly dried. The results, well, i am as pleased as punch with them, not the steadyest of hands I have, nor do i like the dust which kept sticking to the loco everytime I tried taking pictures of it, but, in the end, here it is. I was supposed to sort through these and pick the best ones, but in the end, well, I just uploaded them all, lol :lol:

The final picture shows it with my Ragleth and one of my MMS loco's for a size comparison, but I have also used it for my Avatar. If someone has a good idea for lining on the Ragleth other than yellow I would love to see, hear it, thanks, Steve :)

You can shove one on the green loco as well and claim the red one is a newly accquired LMS ;)

yeah, the light was bad, or the camera is, or maybe the person behind the camera, but the red one is the standard MSS burgandy colour in real life, lol :lol:

Or "the mark of the beast" AKA - the UTA crest...

For those not in the know, the UTA closed down the last remaining stretches of narrow gauge in Northern Ireland 1950-54, and most of the standard gauge system 1950-65.
