Thank you Chris.
Now imagine if only it were a Bulleid Light Pacific with air smoothed casing.

That makes sense, thank you Neil. I'd like to try those Omen Minature paints, is there a basic few colours you'd recommend for use on weathering underframes?Steve, thank you very much for your very kind comments as always.
I fear I may have created a partial misunderstanding surrounding my airbrush usage.
Essentially, I use a dirty Humbrol-Revell mix through the airbrush on chassis, underframes and roofs to create a key (or primer) for the following oil and water based paint layers - and the weathering powders.
I also tend to complete a job using various varnishes, sometimes tinted with colours, to tie the whole in together at the end.
I do not often use the airbrush on loco bodies, only where I need to create a certain effect that would be difficult any other way; a faint waft of soot deposit on a very clean loco boiler being one.
Hope this is useful.
Neil.

Nigel (of Omen Miniatures) actually sells a weathering set I believe.
Neil.
Hi Steve,
I’m afraid you can only get them through Omen himself or Skytrex. There are no other outlets for the paint as far as I know.
Neil.
If I saw that pre-weathering, I'd say it was an ugly bu%%er, but its working coat of grime gives it an air of purposefulness that softens the brutish lines and makes it actually quite appealing.The latest item off of my weathering workbench is this David Andrews kit built GCR L1.
A very brutish looking machine, but I like the industrial hard working look of the loco.
My first Lee Marsh Models Castle weathering job to be undertaken - and what a beautiful model!
It’s a great pleasure to work on such a piece as this.
The brief was clean but in good working condition and that is what I’ve attempted to recreate.
