Western Thunderer
I have acquired my self from the well known action site a new little project, as in a fit of weakness I thought it had some potential.
As I like the Western region and the Hydraulics I have now got a 4mm Lima class 52 in maroon livery. It has had some slightly dodgy weathering done, in my opinion. Others my think its OK? I have slightly toned down the black on the main body work. The Loco has had it coupling removed at one end and some white metal detailing added.
I was a bit worried on closer inspection that the buffers look a bit big. Any thoughts welcome.
I have today sprayed the white metal items with grey primer as it came with just the parts fitted.
It cost little money so I am happy with it so far, it is running OK.
Thinking that I would like to fit a more neat coupling to the other end of the loco. Any one done this with one of the Lima 52s as the original seems to be just moulded to the under side of the power boogie.
