What it now needs is dirt. And rust. In real life, the yellow paint is a bit luminous, and those poorly painted rivets could do with a bit of grot to blend them in.
I'm glad I opted for yellow over the more common grey though. There's nothing in my fleet that looks like it, and I hope the model stands out when on display. Choosing a livery is always tricky on a freelance locomotive, much like it is when having a car resprayed. You don't get the full effect until it's too late to do something about it.

Wouldn't 4 be a more appropriate number in that livery? Then you could use it for Thunderbird services.

This has come out lovely, Phil...far more my thing than the bigger 16mm stuff!
For me that is the attraction of 7/8ths. You can model small locos and wagons and they still end up smaller than most 16mm models
