Their gallery of N Gauge work looks pretty good but I suppose results may vary...

Here are 4 sides of my diesel loco weathered by GC weathering. Comments please.

Looks good to me. Nice photos. :beers:
Size matters - especially if you don't have a lot of space - and N gauge is the answer!

Hi Tonye,
Looks great. Mind if I ask what it cost for the weathering?

It looks very good indeed.
My preference is for heavy weathering so I would prefer the white making more grubby but I always was a dirty b. :-[

i think it looks good

how did they weather the bodysides/cab front?

Not my era, but yep, I like that. Did they have references photos? IMO the biggest mistake a lot of weathering companies make is "generic dirt". Some operators keep their locos very clean, others don't!

Buffers look good though.

 :hellosign: GC Weathering didn`t have a picture to go by, I asked for medium weathering. I had to tick the boxes on the form to let them know what I wanted , greasy buffers , window wiper marks, exhaust stains etc. In total it cost me £42.00 of which £7.00 was secured p+p one way , because I gave them my loco at a exhibition. Included in the cost was renumbering.  :thankyousign:

Agreed, even with reference photos Millfield Models weathering looked very generic
As a result I disposed of these models, now replaced by Mercig Studios

Impressed by GC Weathering, I plan to use them for the weathering of some of my coaches

Sounds like quite a good price for weathering and number changing. Looks good, certainly better than some of the manufacturers attempts. Models straight out of the box just look so plastic and wrong. Even new locos and well kept locos very quickly get road grime around the tops and bottoms.

Weathering is very much personal taste. My take is that, as a general rule, if people don't notice the weathering then it is probably about right. Diesels often had clean sides but dirty roofs, bogies and frames because they would go through the cleaning plant. Has anyone been brave enough to include the damage done by washing plants on their diesel?
Working doesn't seem to be the perfect thing for me so I'll continue to play.
