I've had a Hornby J36 and 2MT on the weathering bench for a while now and as happens occasionally, I found there was something missing that was just keeping them back from looking finished to my eye.
As I discussed on the AK Weathering pencils thread, I came across the ludicrously simple method of highlighting models using a 2b pencil.
The idea was simple enough so I gave it a try and sure enough, it provided that last little nudge to the finish on the two locos that finally in my own eyes, brought them to life.
They still need crews, coal and a couple of small parts but they do look the business now if it's not too egotistic to think so!
