Loco resprays and detailing

[swisstony]

Does anyone know any good companies they could recommend for a loco respray and detailing which won't break the bank ?

Thanks Paul

Try www.peakdaleworks.com

Never used them myself but look good. When I've saved a few bucks im gonna get a class 60 resprayed. I'm gonna try these guys first.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks Owl I've dropped them an email.

You could have a look at these people, they mainly do detailing but they will consider resprays.

Thanks Paul

have you tried Chris of Old Warren TMD fame ?

I know he will be busy with his new layout, but he does fantastic work, and doesn't break the bank.

Has anyone had an N gauge loco resprayed by :
Custom Models of Bonnybridge

If so, please advise

[MJKERR]

Marcus, getting one done there just now. I'll let you know how it turns out

What did you send and how was progress?

Custom Models of Bonnybridge

Due to a personal injury this agent has suspended their service
From the photos of the injuries I would expect this to be at least three months, making it almost impossible to type, never mind paint a model!

This now explains the extremely poor quality of the four models I had completed, which are now being sent to Millfields at no cost

mjkerr........ you seem to want Rolex quality at poundland prices.

As with most things in life you get what you pay for. A very good respray is going to take many many hours/days to complete. If you want a factory like finish then in IMHO the only two companies that do, what I consider, top notch jobs are Mercig and CJM, yes they are expensive but worth every penny.

There's a chap operating under the name of The Weathering Works. He has an eBay shop here:

I haven't purchased anything from him and have no idea if he offers commission work, but the standard of his OO and N work looks pretty good in the photos. Might be worth contacting him for more details.

If it's weathering required then both BHE and Lytchett Manor Models offer weathering services. They might also offer resprays and detailing services as well, so it might be worth checking them out.

£75 per loco is hardly cheap and is around the going rate for a repaint in two colours (Large Logo Blue)
I didn't select the cheapest either, as discussed elsewhere
I allowed additional time and suggested checking the models at each stage, to ensure accuracy

The person involved has NOT suspended their service at all

I am just going by the communication received this month, which makes this very clear the models could not be completed due to the personal injury and the service had been suspended
