30586 rolled into Whitborough Quayside a couple of weeks ago and psoed for a couple of photos, and prompted me to have my first go at adding various steam effects to hide the prominent NEM pocket, which has yet to be removed befor the coupling loop for Spratt & Winkles is fitted, and a small amount of weathering applied, these locos always seemed to be pretty tidy, but a little touch of working dirt is needed to take off the plastic sheen.
I also took the oportunity while at the NEC on Saturday to pick up a Parkside GW Clay Wagon, Diag. 013 and am building it as a BR Liveried example, which according to the instructions should be early grey, but I can't find any photos of any on the interweb in this livery. All I can find are original GW liveried examples or later build bauxite wagons. Does anyone know a good source of images? (I couldn't even find any on Paul Bartlett's site!) Also, would these wagons run with a tarpaulin sheet over them? I know the peaked 'hoods' weren't introduced until later (so my Bachmann ones are not in use at the moment) but don't know about the introduction of the flat covers.
If anyone can offer any advice or point me in the right direction, I'd be most grateful
Cheers
J
