Harold the Second is making his debut on Bron Hebog.
The paint job was very simple, although the shade is a little too much towards the grey end of the spectrum, but it was a very strange Hammerite hue that the shunter was turned out in.
Himself has done a neat job with some DIY transfers using photographs and some tiny letters to spell out Hunslet on the front of the bonnet.
It really is very wee and would look quite ridiculous next to one of the giant Garratts on the layout.
I've always had trouble explaining to people just how small some of the models are in OO9. In the end I took this photo of my similar Hudson-Hunslet model https://flic.kr/p/xkvU2M
ReplyDeleteIn fact I think your model would actually look large against mine, even if both would look ridiculous next to a Garratt!
