| Caledonian Railway 15 ton brake van complete |
I used Revell red enamel paint for the ends of the van. The sides and interior of the verandas were painted with a mixture of Revell 85 Orange and Precision Paints' P436, Caledonian Railway freight wagon oxide. I took note of the colour of the preserved 6-wheel CR brake van in the Museum of Scottish Railways at Bo'ness, which I thought was a bit on the orange side and mixed what I considered to be a convincing colour for the van. Transfers are Pressfix from HMRS. Though the basic colours were air brushed onto the van this was only the base colour, the finished model is the result of brush painting.
Coming Soon...
My next Blog posting will concern another goods brake van, a Highland Railway Type C 13 ton van. This is under construction at the moment from etches provided by Invertrain. It's an unusual van and an interesting build and will be available soon in kit form from Chris Smith at Invertrain Models.
