Arnington Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Hi All, I have gotten a bit of modelling mojo back and finally got round to finishing weathering up both sides of my Heljan 58. I'm quite happy how she's turned out, really wanted to get the well worn look that i've seen when viewing the class at work passing Clay Cross in the late 80's, some of them were proper grubby! Here's a pic. Arnie Edited January 29, 2012 by Arnington 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeaky Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Well I've just read the whole of this thread and I think you have done some very nice work, the weathering is great and those Peaks well that just takes me back............. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Rail Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Well I've just read the whole of this thread and I think you have done some very nice work, the weathering is great and those Peaks well that just takes me back............. Thanks! Exactly - modelled from a perspective of someone who must have been "there" correct me if I am wrong? - happy days. Images send you right back to those days when Traction was half decent. Following with interest - although you must have exhausted your stock for images? An excellent read excellent modelling - dont know how I have missed it in the past.

Ian Ian Cheers Ian for the great comments, yes i was just about there, i remember as a child my dad first taking me on a day out round the London stations in 1985 and remember vividly St Pancras and seeing the Peaks there which i think is where my fondness for them came from. Happy day's indeed, i wish it was all still around today but at least all the great modelling i see on RMweb helps keep the memories alive I'm just about to send some 56's (another of my favourite loco type) off too Jon at Peakdale for some resprays into Large logo blue and orginal railfreight which i know will look superb as Jon has done resprays for me in the past and his work is top notch! So i will have some more stock for pic's and also i'm continiung working on the other side of the layout which will eventually have a station terminus and other bit's incorporated into it. I will post progress pic's on this when i crack on with it. Arnie 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Rail Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 First recollection is at Preston on the footbridge getting soot in my eye. Shows my age.....! Got dragged to the WCML by a mate in '73 watching doublehead 50's blasting up to Shap just before the onset of electrification. Hooked. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
