Hi, Im not familiar with that particular kit but if its a coal mine then this is what I done.... I sprayed all of the walls "Polly Scale Roof Brown" and the roof was sprayed "Tamiya Olive Green Acrylic" After it dried, I mixed 1:1 "Polly Scale Earth + Reefer White" and watered it down...

Thanks for all your replies. I guess I will leave it the way it is although, once the scenery starts to take shape around it I may change something. Thanks again, Troy.

Thanks for your reply Ray. I have since spoken with another guy that has tried mounting the same body to an SD7 Chassis without success. Im now searching for a replacement motor, although i dont like my chances. The only ones I have found in Electronic shops are way to big. Cheers, Troy.

Yes, mine also has a burning smell when its running and the motor gets extremely hot. I have no idea why.... It still runs ok though...

I have been collecting old Ibertren N Scale Alco Locos because they are the only ones that have made Australian Loco's in N Scale. Unfotunately, only one of them runs. The second one has no motor in it and the third one is missing the brushes in the motor. Ibertren closed down quite a few...

Here is a pic of the last kit that I built. Its a "Ratio" Goods Shed... Any comments or suggestions to make it look better? Cheers, Troy.

Any thoughts on this "Ratio" Oil Depot Kit I just finished? Im thinking that I may have overdone the oil stains on the pipework? I tried quite a few methods of painting the tanks black but still have them look like they are made of steel and not just painted plastic. Nothing seemed to work...

Thanks everyone. The decal has settled in a bit better overnight and doesnt look too out of place now. I will weather both sides some more as suggested by CNR. 60103 asked what type I of Dullcote I used... It was the spray type... And thanks Agatheron, I didnt leave it overnight before...

Ive almost completed my "Ratio" Coal Merchants kit but havent attached the rear drainpipes or weathered the concrete steps at the back yet. I have never used decals before and I ruined one of the two. I got them onto the building ok but I decided to seal them in Testors Dullcote and the...

Just finished putting together my very first model kit. Its a Carriage Shed made by Ratio. Im going to use it as an Engine Shed though... It took me hours to get it together. The drain pipes were a major pain. Ive learnt a thing or two for next time I put a kit together, such as, don't use...

Thanks everyone. I must admit that the tips I have for weathering the track are from a book that I purchased. Its called "How To Build Realistic Model Railroad Scenery" by Dave Frary (Kalmbach) Another member of this forum advised me on how to weather the bridge with pastel chalks and I just...
