This is a model recently purchased by a friend. His instructions were a light weathering on the body and chassis – just like it was a couple of months in service since overhaul. I have given the roof a slightly dirtier touch, just so it does not look so plasticy and more 3D.

This was a second hand loco and only half the accessories had been added and some that were promptly dropped off, I added and/or secured all bits and pieces before weathering.
