The "Do you have any model railway project" thread (https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/do-you-have-any-model-railway-projects-on-the-go.202608/) from COVID lockdowns seems to have fallen by the wayside, and this is a little more specific, so I'll kick this off! Hope to keep adding as we go - would be interested in seeing anyone else's work!
I started a month or so back my first ever Parkside Dundas model - I'd been toying with this for a while and picked an old few up cheap. Christmas brought some Railmatch paint, and I'm finally getting to the point of it looking like it should. First model is a BR(S) built plywood walled CCT (Parkside PC47, OO gauge).
I've finished it in BR Crimson (Railmatch), and used the excellent (but fiddly!) Cambridge Custom Transfers for it. N gauge model builders: you have my respect...
(Images show a Parkside Dundas PC47 CCT model in BR Crimson)
Frame and underside are Humbrol 173, with ends in Tamiya Black. There's a bit of weathering with a chocolate acrylic, but I now need to pluck up the courage to start washing it with dirt, and airbrushing the sides and roof. Need to decide just how filthy I'm going to aim with this - most were so disgusting you could barely tell if they were crimson, green or blue underneath...
I also need to add couplings, but need some NEM pockets and the height gauge to do that... (And it needs a little extra weight and I also need to decide about the window bars before finally fixing the roof on...
Next is a SR built BY Utility (PC34) - may go BR(S) green for that.
