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?

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

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.

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

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

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!!

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

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. 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.
