The Wonderful World Of Model Railways-weathering and renumbering service

[portland-docks]

this is a shout out for a friend of mine who offers a great service renumbering/renaming/relivery/weathering of locomotives/rolling stock etc.

he does all scales but currently working on some of my n gauge. hes almost finished my WD. the WD is being renumbered 90733, and weathered to fit in with my dirty windcutters and freight. 90733 is seen on the KWVR.

heres some pics of it before weathering...













and heres some pics after weathering...













its not yet finished, but when it is, it should look fantastic.

for full effect, he adds crews to his projects, and paints the inside of the cab, and adds real coal to locos.

offers good prices too!

hes on facebook, called the wonderful world of model railways. if anyone wants further contact details i can get them for you

but since hes doing these for me, i said i would get him some advertisment!

No offence, but personally I wouldn't be that impressed with the quality of the renumbering - looks to have used the 10" numerals rather than the 9", and they are incorrectly separated (too big a gap between each digit) and also some don't look well bedded down onto the surface (like the surface wasn't gloss enough to start with, or decal setting solution wasn't used). Have a look at the real thing to see what I mean....:
