Thanks guys, I might be able to come up with a few more photos

Koos, all the things you suggest are on my 'to do list'. I've been a bit wary of weathering as I've seen some horrible cases of excessive weathering. I'm currently working on a micro layout specifically to practice weathering techniques which I can then apply to the main layout. I'm also practicing weathering rolling stock as that can look amazing when well done.

Sadly when it comes to airbrushing I'm a ham fisted klutz!

Cheers,

Kev

I used to be a hamfisted klutz myself, then progressed to reasonable levels (I am still far from being an expert, but getting more confident) . The idea of a practice layout is a good one, the only way to get to grips with something is to practice. weathering rolling stock can be done easily too. Just find yourself some old , even broken rolling stock at flea markets etc, doesn't matter what scale and what prototype they are, you can practice making things dusty, rusty, and anything in between, before you attempt it on your priced possesions, let alone a locomotive..
