Into the Paint Shop!!

I  bought  this  LGB  coach  from   a  fellow  member  a  couple  of  days back........................in  RhB  red  cream  livery ( one  of  LGB's  fictitious models!) 
 
Yestereday  it  emerged  from  the  paint  shops...................................
 
Having   had  a  respray  with  Landrover  Coniston  Green  which  is  not  a  bad  match    for  Austrian (OBB )  Green!!

Heres  a  comparison  pic  with a  genuine  LGB  Green one,  the  repainted  one  is  slightly  different  but not  far  out  I  think,  just  need  to  get  the  decals  on  now!!

Er-r-r nice paint job but - - - - - dare I say - - - - I preferred the red and cream one Steve!

Nice job. The original paint scheme almost looks like Southern Railway green.   I wonder if continental model shops have paints favouring continental railway colours.  Anybody know?
 
Precision Paints have a great selection. Worth looking at for comparisons.

Probably  not,  I  feel  in G  scale  that    total accuracy  to  prototype  is  not  really  nescessary
 
I  use  the  following  Car aerosol  Colours  only!!
 
Grey  Primer  Red , Oxide  primer Matt Black  ,  Satin  Black,  Signal  red,  BLMC BLAZE ( for  Austrian  loco Orange) and  the  Landrover  Green  ( actually  not  too far  off  BR Brunswick  Green)  Theres  also  a   ford  maroon  which  is  close  to  BR  Maroon!
 
The  2   primers  are  not only  used  for  priming,  but  top  coats  also  when   required  also good  for  weathering.

Thing  is  Keith  the  RhB  didnt  have  any  coaches like  it!  and  it  does  look   a  little toylike  in  the  red/cream /ivery  I think!!
 
I like  green  coaches  though  as  witnessed by  the  DMUs  &  EMUs  currently  lined up in  the  garage!!

I do like red 'n cream, and red locos. I was trying to find some shots but it seems I lost the lot when my hard drive crashed last month.
 
Shhh I have quite a lot of green stuff too......

Nice job! Have you got a proper spray set up or an aersol in the garage?

No  Just use  car  aerosols  have  done  so  for  years!!
 
I even  use them  to  paint  Fine scale  0  gauge  locos  and  I  have  even  had  photos of  0 gauge  locos published!!
 
There  are  loads  of  colors  available  but  in practice  I  only  use  around  half  a  doz. as  mentioned  earlier.
It  is  incredibly  easy  to  paint  &  weather   G  scale  locos  & rolling  stock  using  aerosols,
 
 Its best  done  on  a   warmish day and  in  the  open  air so  the  fumes dissipate quickly,  and  NEVER in  the  house if  you  do you  will definately get  your  marching orders!!

Steve

Yes been there know all about aerosols in the house, only done it once I was a fast leaner that time. Another thing not to do is use garden shed felt glue in door's, did a church roof in the kitchen one night, we both had bad headache's the next day. White spirt to clean up the mess afterward's did not help much in the pong states

Some time back I had 2 of these in the LGB Green. A friend had 2 in the Red and Creme RHB Livery. As I wanted the Red and Creme we did a swop of the bodies, the reason for the swop was that his coaches had been converted to 32mm gauge and had the LGB Couplings removed. My RHB ones are  now on long term loan to the Ruschbahn. I wanted the Red and Creme as I am modeling the East German  and that is a colour of many of the coaches that I use on my line.

Nice paint job Steve.

Talking  of  32mm gauge I have  several   sets  of  Accucraft  0 gauge  wheels  which  I  retained  when  I  sold  on  some  Accucraft  rolling  stock, ( these  are  the   alternative  gauge  wheelsets  Accucraft  supply  with  their 45mm gaige  roling  stock) if you  know of  anyone  that  could  use  them  let  me  know

No one I know just got a one track mind

I'm often told that but it usually has reference to railway tracks. 

Steve:   I like the green: I never cared for BR 'blood and custard'.  

Mike:     I hope everything is progressing well and some of those railway items you have are getting their fair share of sunshine.  

Nice re-spray Steve. The OBB green can vary; I have seen a few dark, or light versions, on my travels in Austria. Alyn

well steve

i think your respray looks better than the LGB version-more railroady-weathered -subtle 

more importantly, you did a nice clean job-not a paint thumb print on any windows


have always been a sucker for blood and custard
-but on that style coach -it didnt send me 

i do like  those coaches almost as much as the 3070s-very substantial -but the damned doors always flip outward 


but  
it would have gone with my  on-the-way-in -the-post  red rack electric!


btw -are the blue and cream zillertal versions also fictitious?
