Hahahah! Has anyone ever considerd designing and printing off great sheet transfers for locos? You can get exactly the right colour, lining and lettering then for Your loco

Yes, locolines do it, personally I'm not a fan.

Well yes, I meant like lightlines ie done at home. I'm good to give it a shot when I find the time (groan) I mean what is there to lose apart from a few squid

Well the good news came this weekend. Sir Robin was bolted back together and a fire lit to check the paint work withstood the heat. which it did. So now Ive got to dismember it agin for the lining. I had hoped to have it ready for the the steam up at the fairfield railway but im not to sure that thats going to happen.

Well that means you've got 1 1/2 months, my guess is that you don't have much faith in the speed of your lining skills cecil

I suppose it depends on how basic/intricate the design of lining is?!?! Add to the time doing (and revising for) a fireman's test, working, sleeping, running the odd train, being ill, doing silly jobs for other people etc, I think 1.5 months is a fair estimate!

Incidentally, I have been lucky enough to spy the beauty, and you are all in for a treat!

What colour did you paint it eventually?

I'm afraid he's not going to say untill the Fairfield Railway steamup, (unless he gives me a big suprise!) but I reckon it's quite a nice scheme

That will be pink then...

Posted: **Thu Nov 19, 2009 9:08 pm**

I can neither confirm, nor deny the loco is pink. However, I can confirm it is not Emerald Green, nor is it Bling Bling Blue (aka Rover Tahiti Blue [Pearlescent])

Hope this helps guys!!! Mwahahahahahaha!!
