Hi Guv :wave:
Yes me too +1
I wish that I could work that fast!

I wish I could work half that fast; actually I'd be quite pleased with a quarter ....
Had an unexpected hour in the shed this afternoon, in the main I did some sanding, filling and tidying of what has already been done. Added the lights on the bottom of the cab front. I then decided a quick coat of primer would help make the bits that need filling stand out, it did !!! I did manage to get these 4 pictures without showing two many marks that need further sanding and filling...

Seems blue is pretty popular then !!
Next question, can anyone recommend a "rattle can" blue that comes close to the correct shade.
I know that 'Railmatch' do a BR blue, but in their small cans I could get through a lot on something so big !!
Quite often people stumble across a colour on the 'Halfords' rack that is close, is this the case here, any suggestions ??

Hi rjr imo two tone green with small yellow panels , but isnt it what colour you want it ? re railmatch spray cans i sprayed my 121, which has a fairly large surface area with two coats and there was still i guess over half a can left . the jltrt cans are about ?15 so compairing them with railmatch at ?5.95 you would be better off buying two railmatch .

This was on the MIGO site, but alas no BR blue, but I know I've seen it so I'll keep checking,
BR Maroon Vauxhall Burgundy Red - Ford Burgundy Red - Triumph Damson
BR Blood/ Custard approx colours Ford Venetian Red/ Talbot Jonquil
LMS/ Midland Crimson Lake Ford Damask Red - BL Damask Red
SR Machellite Green Ford Laurel Green
GWR Brunswick Green Peugeot Conifer
GWR/BR Green Leyland Brooklands Green - Land Rover Deep Bronze Green
GWR Cream Ford Sahara Beige - Ford Sierra Beige

White - Primer sold by Halford's is recommended as "sticks to anything" - it is particularly good as a base coat for resin kits.
Black - generally use Matt Black for chassis and under frames and Satin Black for bodywork.
Tips Be careful when doing any touching up as Halford?s paints lifts most varnishes
Do not spray Cellulose based on top of oil based.
Some people only use gloss as its easier to apply lining; varnish matt or satin after.

Bingo! I won't put the entire list here but I will post it in another part of the forum, http://www.westernthunder.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=270

Chris, fair point the decision is mine, but as i get more pleasure out of building than running, and as I know so little about prototype stock, it really isn't critical to me what livery it ends up. As it was this forum that inspired the build and you have all been kind enough to encourage / guide I thought a paint job to match the consensus would be fitting !
Marsa 69 your a star !! and I am sure the entire list will be of help to others, thanks
