It is vallejo acrylic sprayed on, hairspray,salt, and some oils for pin washes. I shall be using some talc for a bit of texture on the next test pieceI agree the colours are spot on, but more texture would be good
What paints are you using ?
WHAT !!! you mean this one isnt BLUEI am pleased to say the bogies work as intended the piano wire rests on the bolster providing secondary springing. the rate can be varied by changing the wire or inserting blocks under the wire to shorten the effective length. Sobering thought the picture has £210 of motor gearbox and £150 of wheels I suspect two motors and four driven axles is overkill.

I love these little locos (well actually this is quite a big one ) and I want to do another in blue
Yep, the bogie has compensation and the bolster is sprung, and it is a straight drop in replacement designed to fit the ABC units, and a pair can be assembled in about a hour I think the compensation beam would be better profile milled but it works as it is.That looks good Cynric, presumably that's "job done" for suspension of wheels relative to bogie?
Are they purchasable?

PS I like the "10mm" written on the etch!
