MrWolf Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Possibly going to such efforts on a Sunday as changing one's kex, may be interpreted by Jones the Ayatollah as working on the day of rest and therefore a sin. The result of which may be a severe fire and brimstone lecture at the Primitive or Congregational chapel, but you might get the Presbyterians come galloping down from the hills with red painted faces, antlers on their heads and burn your village. Then it will start to rain.... (More than usual) just to make sure you're properly depressed. 2 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was reserved for China clay wagons.

It was certainly being used in the floors of lorry bodies by the 1930s. We are probably too used to not seeing hardwoods used on things like open wagons so it looks wrong. It would make sense to use a hardwood floor on a heavy duty machinery wagon. 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted February 7, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2023 Put away the Knickers chaps, it's time for a serious question for serious Modellers (including CK, Mr Tooth and Mr Sheep-person). Has anyone attempted to remove the Shirbutton emblem on a Dapol 63XX Tender. Not as an act of defiance but as a prep for a swap to another emblem? If so, how did you achieve that please? I arsk as I have acquired and almost new 6385 with decent SW Digital Sound fitted and want to change the Tender markings suitable for 1960 - 62. 6346 first choice (Exeter until 12/62); 6356 second choice (Westbury until 10/62); 6376 third choice (Barrow Road until 5/62). All these are correct for a no OPs and no Cab Side Windows as far as can see. IF one can get outside Pipes as a spare to fit, that opens up the choices a great deal of course. Can these be obtained or 'fettled'? Many thanks, Mad Duck. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Are there any areas under either footplate, ie out of sight, that are painted green which you could test a little T Cut on? The sort of thing that I usually modify is likely to be painted in something petrochemicals based and you even have to be careful with that, but it may be that you are up against a modern version of 2K which is even harder, or something water based that isn't. Unless someone on here has done it or can point you elsewhere, it may be a case of treading carefully and being the first. Don't forget to wear your oldest knickers just in case. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold longchap Posted February 7, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2023 Dear Donald, Agree with Rob regarding secret testing out of sight with disposable undergarments, just in case. I have however successfully and very easily removed a shirt button emblem from the panniers of an early Bachmann 57xx with surprising ease / little effort, using a lightly handled fibreglass brush with a circular motion. Bearing in mind you will probably spray some clear coat before the new decal, then a finishing matt / satin when done, possibly followed by weathering, I reckon it may serve well enough. Hope this helps and bon courage, Bill 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this on a Bachmann model but then opted for Great Crest Western and arranged the crest to cover up of my scratchings - worked quite well in the end. My scratching was with a fibre glass brush but I have heard that air erasers are good if you can get hold of one (a sort of mini sand blaster).

RMweb Gold Graham T Posted February 7, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2023 Using the same method recommended by @MrWolf and @longchap, you could also give isopropyl alcohol a try (on the shirtbutton, I mean...) 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted February 7, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2023 I think (but could be misremembering) on my GWR liveried Dapol model I had to remove part of the number plates as they were too big. I used my usual approach of Microsol applied over the area and removing with a cotton bud / blunted cocktail stick once it was soft after a few minutes. IPA works just as well (I do wonder if that is a key ingredient in microsol..) used the same approach on lots of Hornby/Bachmann locos to remove shirt buttons or BR logos 2 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
