Detailing RTR Locos (1)

by Gary Lee

 

Basic detailing

Here's a weathered and detailed Bachmann 45xx. The donor model is good, but there is still scope for detailing.

I have renumbered this one to 4563 using etched brass cabside and smokebox number plates.

The moulded smokebox door handle was replaced with a seperate brass one.

Screw-link couplings were fitted to the front buffer beam.


I added lamps front and back, and real coal to the bunker. The weathering is done from a combination of airbrush and hand brush.
