I can remember some GUV's coming into Tonbridge station (attached to the post office train) black as soot. They hardly ever got cleaned.

[@1BCamden]

Great episode, just keep coming back to it for reference, thanks so much

[@simonturner5450]

A master class in weathering, thanks for sharing.

[@Wallsrail]

Class in making it up as I go along more like 😅👍👋

[@shakeyhandsshedmodelrailwa2494]

very rare you saw a clean GUV i used to do overtime on saturday night loading sunday mornings newspapers into them on manchester victorias platform 11

[@Wallsrail]

I worked with all the parcel vans in the late 80's at Cambridge. Mainstay of our work at the time!

[@api644]

superb weathering!

[@IronHorseRailways]

Blue was VERY BRIGHT to be fair, but once all done up, it'll do just dandy! . Good show as always sir

[@locohauledforum]

That Mr Nicholls sounds like a good chap, got to love your Lima. LOL

[@Wallsrail]

I’m sure @bericksfinest will be mightily pleased to hear this 😂👍

Can be frustrating getting it just so Great finish Nigel Nice to see the 31 spares 😎 The class 31 was a fine servant

[@TheDaf95xf]

Good evening Mr train man. WOW that transformation was amazing 🤩 They reminded me of my train spotting days when I visited Red bank sidings in Manchester seeing lots of GUVs and assorted parcel vans. Have a good train drive 👍🏻 Cheers Stevie

[@Wallsrail]

Reminds me of my early railway career at Cambridge. Most of my work was hooking engines on to numerous trains of the these and BG's. Alright in the summer flipping freezing in the winter!!

[@manmikey65]

Fantastic weathering! The model railway world doesnt usually seem to use pin washing and the drybrushing products and techniques you've demonstrated here, panel lines, grills, small details, door and window frames are really brought to life with a simple pin wash

[@Wallsrail]

I learned almost all I know from the military modellers planes and tanks. And believe the skill set is the same and transferable to railway modelling. Also helps to be brave and get your hands dirty and have a go at it!!

[@tynedock]

Another Great Video! I had seen the Ammo paint set and wondered what it was like. Thanks 👍

[@lukeslocos6610]

I know this exact dilemma, when you like network south east in n gauge you are pretty stuffed for coaches. Unfortunately I lack an airbrush and the skills to repaint, I'm having a go at creating a class 13 in n gauge so the green slave and blue master won't work, so a bit of blue paint will be needed. Keep at the good work 😃

[@ChobertonJunction]

Interesting and very informative something I will note for future use. Great to see how you went about the repaint. The carriages looked awesome..

[@the_failed_states]

The broken window is a keeper. Looks great

[@robertbate5790]

Indispensible vehicles in their day, and what a long day it was!! New Street will never be the same without them 🤣. Great edition again. Thanks 👍👍👍

[@christophermatthews6972]

Also Manchester Victoria.

[@darrenhillman8396]

Nice job!

[@JamesCleevely]

Excellent work, and very timely for me as I have a badly modified one that needs restoration and this has given me the inspiration to do it. It only cost me a fiver at a toy and train fair, so no huge loss if it goes wrong!

[@heaptoncollierymodelrailwa6011]

Great stuff dude! Would love a video on the alcohol as I use it to strip my models- but don’t really get the science as to why it works! Keep it up!

[@Wallsrail]

If I do one on stripping, don't expect the science behind it, as I've not got a clue!! 🤷‍♂ It works that's all I know 😂👍

[@gs425]

Always enjoy your videos Nigel. And reminiscing as others are saying. In my case there was always a line of these in platform 1 bay at Plymouth North Road. Probably the through the night newspaper train thinking about it

[@andydavidson9440]

A really useful for a returning modeller. Thanks for educating me on GUVs as I see so many in the way you described. Inspiring !

[@davidjohn4743]

Brilliant 😊

[@Seb7535_pafc]

The blue looks almost like early NSE blue. Great videos i enjoy your calm delivery and the results you achieve are excellent

[@Wallsrail]

Thanks 👍

[@beeble2003]

Surprised that Mig's BR blue is so wildly inaccurate. Looks great once you've weathered it, though!

[@shakeyhandsshedmodelrailwa2494]

preston newspaper empties used to come past my signal box returning to cheetham hill carriage sidings awaiting thier next use

[@Wallsrail]

Drove a few parcel trains in the north west, mainly crewe Manchester couple to Carlisle

[@Brinkly1000]

Great stuff - what PSI did you spray at? I’m tempted to try these paints myself.

[@Wallsrail]

Good question! I’m not really sure, whatever makes it work best. Somewhere around 20 - 25 psi And I have a cheap airbrush nothing fancy

[@jagc1969]

Great job! Which pressure are you using in your airbrush?

[@Wallsrail]

[@jagc1969]

@@Wallsrail Thanks a lot!

[@beeble2003]

Just an irrelevant nitpick, but there's no such thing as "99% proof". When alcohol is measured as a percentage, it's the percentage of the volume of the liquid that's alcohol. "Proof" is an older system that's not measured as a percentage, and doesn't denote a percentage -- it's just a number. Various inconsistent systems for determining proof have been used in different places and at different times. In the UK, proof was originally determined by 100 proof being enough alcohol for the liquid to burn; later it was determined by the density of the liquid. Alcohol proof hasn't been a thing since the 1980s.

[@berwicksfinest]

Give over, unhealthy obsession of Lima ???? They are cockroaches of the model railway world !!!!! They'll survive the apocalypse and still keep going !!!!! P.s get some one anglia stock going, have some colour on the layout 😂
