You certainly have a great deal of patience and a steady hand. You did a really good job there despite the problems you encountered. I'll probably wait for Hornby to release the further A4s which I want and go to expense of buying them. The only thing which bugs me a bit about my William Whitelaw is mine is from the earlier batch with the 'upside down' whistle. That said I hadn't noticed it before it was pointed out to me by another UA-camr and with my eyesight I need a magnifying glass to see it!
Thank you. There not always so steady but I got lucky that day. In regards to the whistle im not 100% if it is upside down or just the wrong shape not really looked into it too much. But you can pop it out if you pop a solidering iron thru the bottom see peachys video below. ua-cam.com/video/PoZ6StzYpkE/v-deo.htmlsi=Ka9tOuun5-YV7GQN
Just a tip, I use glue and glaze to apply number plates on loco's, works well and gives you time to make adjustments, super glue defiantly a no no in my book
Good going, sir. I've done worse! Nice to see in TT120 and Fox Transfers seem to be a very accommodating business. All said and done, nice one. Cheers!
Thank you Flymo 👍 Transfers were in N gauge but I think I got away with it. Prob gonna repaint to a wartime black loco when I get around to doing a UoSA 2.
Have you thought about weathering it? That might hide any minor blemishes. Great video. I certainly wouldn't attempt what you have done, I'd pay a professional.
I could, but being a "Preservation" Locomotive I was going for a clean look. What Im thinking is a complete re paint mainly because the botched cab lining still bothers me.
About 6years ago I had a similar situation, however I picked up the wrong can and sprayed the loco with glue not matt flat varnish. I had the two products in the same brand name. Changing the name of the Loco it would be great to be able to change one of mine to Commonwealth of Australia. Apparently the Loco was offered to Australia and sadly it was turned down for some reasons what a great loss.
The wire between loco and tender only fits one way so does not really need marking. Why not just paint over the old number, saves a lot of hassle which is what I do. BR green was NEVER Brunswick green. That name was used by mistake by a model magazine editor in the 1950's and incorrectly used ever since, even on the real railway. The colour was deep bronze or deep chrome green, commonly known as Land rover green.
@@garryhall5552 What I should have said was when I bought the olive green it was for a SR project not BR. Hence the shade being off, Im hopefull the "BR Green" will be correct.

I believe Silvertay Do Commenwealth of Australia plates in several gauges.

May give that a go next time. 👍
I do need to get a better green to cover the olive green I used, Will have to see what rail match has to offer.
@@LetsMakeTracks-TT120 Railmatch is practically the same.
