That's a loco class you don't see modelled that often in any scale. Lovely job on the weathering.

Only 5 more required to complete the set .

A bit like the the U1 - they are not often seen modelled either.

It beats the legend 4P5FA.

what’s the “A”?

Braking power less than normal for a 5F loco. If it were 'B' then brake power higher than normal. A Southern think I think.

I do have a U1 in 4mm scale, as they did (unsuccessfully) run on the North Cornwall Railway for two brief periods, but it runs like a three legged dog.

The next piece of weathering I completed was a superb Lee Marsh GWR Single, with the lining correction beautifully undertaken by Ian Rathbone.
Arguably it took more time to do than the O4 I posted earlier in the thread!
The first photograph is by David Thomas and it’s a cracker. I hope it shows more clearly, than the next iPhone snap of mine, the work I put in to creating a ‘clean but in use’ loco.
The backdrop is again Kevin Wilson’s fantastic Bucks Hill model railway.View attachment 152678 View attachment 152677

It's truly remarkable the effort that has to go into 'weathering' a clean loco.
So much nuance required.
You are essentially adding another layer of depth to the already immaculate appearance.

Lovely work.

Davy.

Thank you Davy,
Very kind.

A triumph of both technical and artistic skill.
It's an absolute joy to behold.

Fantastic! The last photo on Bucks Hill looks so realistic!

A 'like' isn't enough half the time. Like when I look at that piston rod. I know it is only a small thing, but......

That's what I thought too.

Yep.

That's what really nailed it for me too.

Thank you All for your very kind comments.
Glad I’m getting the look of the weathering somewhere near right.

Possibly the biggest understatement on the forum

I’ve recently completed the weathering on this O Gauge K3 Class model.

*Richard Lambert has posted already about this on WT; my apologies for the repetition

 

[AJC]

No need to apologise for the repetition, that's just sublime in every respect.

Are these photos taken in daylight Neil?
If not, can you describe the lighting process please?
