I've weathered the interior even though I'm going to running it with a load of root veg/sugar beet as seen in that photo of the '57 Ivybridge goods. I've weathered the sides using the method used by military modellers which is the pin wash. The underframe used frame and track dirt from Lifecolor. Nice work Robin These are lovely models and your weathering has brought the detail out nicely. Cheers, Mark 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted March 14, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2021 Shewn before here's the casting for the sugar beet available unpainted singly or in packs of three from Ten Commandments. These are actually 62mm long which is too short for most open rtr wagons so I spliced the end off another one onto this one. There was much debate on the colour beet should be but I'm happy with my choice here. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rob In the wilds of East Anglia, where the best beat comes from, the railways use to transport it in mineral wagons which in real life were 1 foot shorter than merchandise wagons. This possibly why the model load is shorter than most open rtr wagons. Any help with the colour? 2 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2021 Having watched sugar-beet loading in 1967 at Lavant, West Sussex, it pains me to say Clive is about right. Minfits it was, but that was 20 years after ANTB. Things wus different back then. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Cap Now I was told a story about a couple who moved from the West country to East Anglia. They had gone for a walk and saw a big pile of turnips. They took a couple home. They took a long time to cook and did not taste nice. Moral of the story, do not steal a farmer's sugar beat. 1 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looking forward to the Eastern van that Oxford are doing. One of my favourite little bits about the Oxford wagons is that you can position the brake lever to set the brakes 'on'. I recently picked up a bunch of the Oxford P.O wagons, spurred on by this I ordered some of the Tank wagons too. Also looking forward to the NER van. 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a reply from Kevin at Dapol with my query. Thank you for your enquiry but you are under a misapprehension as the model you are Referring to accurately depicts a loco which kept its GWR livery well into BR Days. We did Great Western and shirtbutton versions in the first batch, 4S-043-012 will be the GWR version. Kind regards 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
