My first p4 loco build mercian barclay diesel.

Hi Enigma yes I'm going to do an interior. I've had to cut some of the bulkhead away so I could get the motor in. As a result it is protruding into the cab.
I think I can use the etchings supplied to hide the motor but would like to add more detail.

This is the one I made for mine. There weren't any parts in the body I obtained. Perhaps the original version of the kit didn't have any.

I've a feeling the 2 levers are a bit to long but they won't be easy to get out now! At least it fills the cab and eliminates an empty space

That looks ace I shall have a go at replicating that over the weekend.

Last night i got the airbrush running & did a bit of weathering. I used some vallejo air acrylics, weathering powders & some humbrol washes.

I have a few rust spots to add & the odd bit here & there but the bulk of it is now done.

PM me your e-mail and I can send you my photos of the cab interior from Foxfield.

That's toned it down nicely... You have a cracking prototype photo in the first post in this thread to work to.

I'm looking forward to seeing the final result.

Cheers

I managed to get a better photo last night which I think shows it in a better light than before.
A few rust patches to paint on but I'm happy with the end result. Final details this weekend then I can start my next build which is a parkside mineral on a rumney models sprung chassis.

At first I thought "oh no he's ruined it by sticking a really glossy green over it!"...but acctually once it's toned down and weathered she looks good.

Nice chassis build too.

Would you say the kit was an easy one to build?

Thanks
Gareth
