Green (with envy)

Being the only diesel in a fleet of steam isn't easy, especially when the grubby, faded yellow paint of your industrial roots stands out next to the clean, lined green of the rest of the shed. Well the time has come for that to change, 00 "Dick Dastardly/The Mean Machine" is turning green!

For no practical reason, I am conducting the repaint panel by panel. It started as a test to see what the livery would like on the cab side, before committing to the whole model, but I got carried away... Either way I hope you agree that the result is rather pleasing thus far.

Note - Varnish has yet to be applied; the glossy finish will not be permanent.

An example of the 00 gauge work that has been taking over - fully fitted interiors!

Finally, contrary to my last post, I am no longer on my last Bachmann Mark 1, following a... shall we say, incident... on ebay...
