Western Region Blues!

[clarky]

Well I've started it.

Anything Blue (or tatty maroon or green) and Western Region in a time when the sun was brighter, the days long and hot and hydraulics reigned supreme

Here's my SBT Maybach.

They're looking good, here's some weathering inspiration for you!

Fabulous photos

And I will weather them

Breaks my heart to make them as bad as they really were though!

You're absolutely tight

Didn't BR let stuff get in a mess though?

 

[clarky]

I've still got the window's and security bars to fit

The springing on the buffers isn't done yet either

I've ordered a JLRT BG and an RMB (although it might be an RU) next

I gave Laurie the choice of RMB or RU.

Should arrive this week

What are the jltrt cct's like as a build ?. @lancer1027 has completed his Model express cct & mine is at the ready to prime state.

Hi Steve

The JLRT CCTs go together beautifully.

A bit of sanding and grinding needed on the buffer casings, but all in all a lovely model.

The 2nd one is just having its brake gear fitted now

The BG and the RU look lovely too (still in the box)

Window glass and prison bars still to fit!

And footsteps to add too!
