I used to watch your channel all the time and somehow your videos completely slipped under the radar. Looking back I’m shocked this happened as I’d say a good majority of my modelling techniques I learned from your channel! Keep up the great work, and apologies for my absence!!
Dean Goods are such a classic workhorse locomotive. These are the loco's who just go from station to station on pick up goods and not going rushing. As long as it didn't rain, you can enjoy yourself in the cab.
I always say I love your video and I do, but I think this one is my favourite so far 👌 i loved the vlog part at the beginning and it was great to hear a bit about the history of the engine! 🤗
with the black I find the Vallejo Model Air Black is nicely diluted to brush on without too much streaking and not so thick that you lose detail, the Etched Plates from Fox are fantastic, I have changed all of my West Countries and Battle of Britains to use Fox Etched Names and Plaques and its such a night and day difference
Great video Tris and great loco. I have the Locomotion/Oxford Rail Dean Goods too, which I bought earlier in the year at the Bristol Exhibition. It is one of my favourites
What a transformation, the Dean looks fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you do your magic on tired and less-well detailed locomotives. Looking forward to the next one. Good to see a bit of the layout too! Blessing Tris.
Excellent refurbishment. It looks really nice and the cab detail is great. Who doesn't love an 0-6-0 tender loco. Your cat Groot is either envious of the attention lavished on it, or telling you he likes it, I can't quite tell 😊
What lovely job you made of that loco. I must venture into Airbrushing. It always looks so easy when somebody else is using one. I have a few models that need attention. Martin. (Thailand)
Congratulations on a well made documentary. Great, clear narration, an occasional hint of soft music... not too much and some really nice airbrush demonstrating. Keep them coming
Great work Tris, it's come up beautifully. I bought a part finished SE finecast Crab loco years ago that's still sitting in a drawer somewhere. I'd better get my act together and fix it up. Cheers!
Love how this Dean Goods turned out, i'd personally love to have this little gem in my collection. I must say I am jealous of you lot in the UK, I live in the US and am a UK modeller myself, and it's just impossible to get the proper paints here. Can't even import the paints from Railmatch, so best I can do is mix different paints together and go by eye with an RTR model as reference.
Hello, excellent job! Please keep uploading such videos, restoring or constructing from scratch steam locomotives! One observation only from me, if you would like, you could try a more crushed coal load. I have apply it on my 5 steam locomotives and it looks much better! Cheers, Lefteris.
Hi Tris. That was a great project and very nicely done. I would however be a little less reliant on the quick and easy use of super glue as it may not be as great as its name suggests at times. Don't know if you have watched any of my latest videos but the Night Owl one explains what may happen. Cheers Rob.
Great restoration ,I like the stormy sky effect at the end looks like it’s going to thunder anytime ,many a time caught out in a storm watching trains as a young boy on the western region ,all the best
Nic video Tris. It's always fun to restore and detail older locomotives and even rolling stock as it gives the model a new lease of life. Great job mate. - Nicholas.
Excellent result Tris… but cyanoacrylate and white metal is not a long term thing ! With your skill set mate add low temp soldering to the list. It’s the only permanent bond for white metal kits.
I do not remember K's producing the Dean Goods, but I restored and rebuilt for EM gauge a K's body of a LNER J51 that I did not know K's had ever done. maybe this kit was not K's, but Wills?
I like restoring models too, it can be risky though. Shame that the loco wasn't soldered originally, but all's well that ends well. Great video, thanks for sharing 👍😊 Ive got a cast Smoke Box Dart on an O gauge loco to par off too. They really set the "face" of a loco if a seperate casting is fitted etc😉😊👍 I've some of the Vellejo primers, how did you find it stuck to white-metal? I've had to remove oxidisation then prime with an etch primer. In the past, previous versions of Games Workshop "Chaos Black" would adhere well to cleaned white-metal, but the formula was changed and it won't work as well these days.
I found it stuck but I washed the model first and did quite a few thin coats and let it go fully hard. I was conscious of the primer not sticking but got through it ok.
@@OONeal Thanks 😊👍 A nice model ensued too, well done. Brass and white-metal, oh and aluminium, can be a real challenge to paint. I admire your CAD abilities, I should learn but each day that passes, I fall out of love with computers (after thirty five years working with them)😳🙄👍😉
You did a great job on the white metal Dean good tris if there's any advice you can give to someone who wants to to do the same to another kit what would u say :)
I wouldn't. Super glue dries hard and very brittle and in despite its name really isn't that super when it comes to bonding performance with solid non porous surfaces. It is better for soft porous materials hence will stick your fingers together very well. I have recently purchased a model that was "professionally" repaired with the stuff and didn't go to well, ended up having to repair it again myself.
@David Hi, I don't have any personal experience with UV cure glues but from what I have read there are types for many purposes including bonding metal plastic and even glass, so providing you have the correct type it should form a good strong bond much better than super glue.
Haha! I happen to volunteer in that shop - thanks for mentioning us! Hope you can come down another time and see what we've got on offer!

Great job Tris. Love it. You made that look SO easy. I always enough you posts. 🙂🙂
Congrats on a job well done. With the price of new locks it's great to see an older one restored.Regards Terry.
Thank you Terry!
In a word BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers Greg from Australia
Hi Tris. Really professional job, you could make a living at that.
Thanks Phil
Hi Tris, you put Hornby & Bachmann to shame, brilliant. All the best. Carl.
Thank you Carl!
Beautiful model saved from being forgotten glad it’s owned by someone who cares for it :)
Thank you very much 😊
Well done Tris great transformation and finish you should be pleased with the outcome take care regards Barry..
Thank you Barry! I am very pleased :)
Dean Goods are such a classic workhorse locomotive. These are the loco's who just go from station to station on pick up goods and not going rushing. As long as it didn't rain, you can enjoy yourself in the cab.
Loco looks lovely on the layout. Very good
Thank you very much 😊
Very nice work, thanks for the video.
Superb result, Tris! Hope you've managed to get it to run as well as it looks. Thanks for another great video. Simon.
Thank you Simon 😊
I always say I love your video and I do, but I think this one is my favourite so far 👌 i loved the vlog part at the beginning and it was great to hear a bit about the history of the engine! 🤗
Thank you very much, I enjoyed making it and appreciate that you enjoyed the history part of this video 😊
Super work there Tris, you've given that loco a whole new lease of life. And Groot looks really cute too!
Thank you Kevin,
You did a great job, and it's such a smooth runner for a kit built loco. You really lucked out with this.
Thank you i was really pleased to get hold of it
Hi. I really enjoyed this video. I have these locos and love them. You've done a marvelous job.
Looks and runs brilliant 👏 great video Triss thankyou
Wonderful restoration, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ron 😊

Excellent I’d like to get one of them one day

Thank you David, I am glad you enjoy the process

Thanks I enjoyed doing it 😊
Fantastic work Tris! Very interesting!
Great video. I intend to install sound in my Collett Goods and I like the way you did it. Cheers Bill
Nice 'overhaul' !
Cracking job there it really looks the part
Thank you Sir!
What lovely job you made of that loco. I must venture into Airbrushing. It always looks so easy when somebody else is using one. I have a few models that need attention. Martin. (Thailand)
Tris, all your hard and skillful work was well worth it, this came out beautifully!!!
Thank you very much Richard!
Great work there Tris, The loco looks the part now 😀.
Cheers and Merry Christmas from down under, Wally
Congratulations on a well made documentary. Great, clear narration, an occasional hint of soft music... not too much and some really nice airbrush demonstrating. Keep them coming
Thank you Brian 😊
Great job, looks like new
It feels that way when I look at it
Dude real nice job it looks like it just came out of the box but better
Nicely done ✔️ 👏
Nice work.
Great work Tris, it's come up beautifully.
I bought a part finished SE finecast Crab loco years ago that's still sitting in a drawer somewhere.
I'd better get my act together and fix it up.
Cheers!
Thank you very much I hope you find the time to do yours
That is incredible. It looks official! Great job!
Thank you very much 😊

Thank you Robin, maybe next time I’ll use some epoxy 😊
Superb job.
Great restoration ,I like the stormy sky effect at the end looks like it’s going to thunder anytime ,many a time caught out in a storm watching trains as a young boy on the western region ,all the best
Thank you I enjoyed taking that picture
cool vid of you do a nice model on the channel thanks lee
Nic video Tris. It's always fun to restore and detail older locomotives and even rolling stock as it gives the model a new lease of life. Great job mate. - Nicholas.
Thank you Nicholas, I hope you are keeping well
Great to see you work on the Dean Goods. You have done an excellent job and looks fantastic. Well done.
Thank you Duncan!
Nice
What a transformation sir - really top work 👌👌👌
Thank you very much
Nice restoration.
It’s so cool to see it go from start to finish this makes me want to get a model kit
Just a pet peeve of mine; the -ol suffix means “alcohol” so it’s “iso-propyl alcohol” or “iso-propanol”.
11:18 YeeSSSSSS(!) D: :3

You did a great job on the white metal Dean good tris if there's any advice you can give to someone who wants to to do the same to another kit what would u say :)
Which Airbrush do you use?
Hi Tris, would you recommend superglue instead of Araldite if you were building one of those kits from scratch, regards Jon.
I wouldn't. Super glue dries hard and very brittle and in despite its name really isn't that super when it comes to bonding performance with solid non porous surfaces. It is better for soft porous materials hence will stick your fingers together very well. I have recently purchased a model that was "professionally" repaired with the stuff and didn't go to well, ended up having to repair it again myself.
@David Hi, I don't have any personal experience with UV cure glues but from what I have read there are types for many purposes including bonding metal plastic and even glass, so providing you have the correct type it should form a good strong bond much better than super glue.
An epoxy is way better than a cyanoacrylate (CA or Superglue). Even better……. Low temp solder (70 deg C)
It’s not a difficult skill and permanent!
No better job than a salvage job 👍🏻 i did similar with an 02 not so long ago, check it out on my channel 😊
It is good fun and very satisfying. Ill check yours out
