The challenge with this one is to make it look convincingly neglected as if it has spent 15 years in Minffordd Yard.
At the moment it has been given some initial coats of dirty black and green and posed in its train formation with Earl of Merioneth and bogie wagon 63.
This time Himself is using Railmatch standard loco green in place of our usual Humbrol number 3 and it does look a lot duller.
The nameplates are just tacked in place because the finished model won’t have any - just rusty oblong patches where they used to be - so they are just there as a marker for now.
I think it’s going to look very effective and hopefully quite a conversation starter, whenever exhibitions resume.....
