Nice build George. I use chaos black from a rattle can as a really flat black. It is a paint that war gamers use to prime their figurines. It works a charm for getting that black black look. Thanks for your video, entertaining and inspiring as usual. Cheers, Daniel🚂🚂🚂
Glad you’ve made these. I’ve got them part painted. I kind of did it how you did; I sprayed them red but then hand painted the brown and the black. The beading makes a useful guide for the brush. It’s also kind of Fourdees to give you tank traps for when you model Fairbourne! Mine didn’t have the internal supports though.
Looking great! My friend has the 9 and 10 set and is unhappy with how the bogies attach to the body. Personally i agree with him, but that doesnt negate the fact that they still look lovely!
@GWilliamsonModels my issue is really just the way the bogies are mounted by a resin clip. I personally would prefer a screw for ease of maintenance/repair. The clip method feels very out of date and could risk being broken should the bogies need to be removed for whatever reason
A Tinnie in Oz is not only a small open (usually aluminium) boat, but also a term for canned beer. The context will inform as to which tinnie is referred to. P.S. The fourdees kits look well thought out enabling a quality outcome
You’ve really spoiled us with your standard of work. I was looking at the new Bachmann 009 Tal-y-Llyn loco and coaches at Trainfest in Milwaukee last weekend and all I could think was. “They’re not as good as George’s models”
Another great build George, those kits look very well designed. Your commentary is showing a lot of personal reflection, I hope the pressure is not getting to you.
Great work on those coaches, George 👍. When I do black washes, I feel your pain. You spend ages getting the paint job perfect only to dowse it in watered down black paint, wondering if you've just made a big mistake.
This kit & me are strange because everytime I go to buy them I end up doing pre-grouping southern coaches instead. I'll get round to doing them one day.
Great job with the coaches. Been waiting for another rolling stock one. I did these two about a year ago. Still have one or two things to get them done. Like the glazing. When will four dees do all the other boggy stock. For I'm eagerly waiting them when ever the day comes. Great job once more. Cheers
These look fantastic as always! Can’t wait to see the next video on the layout! Out of curiosity, why do you do the black wash if you don’t like doing it? I get for Corrish as an example since that layout was depicting a railway that was about to close, but your Talyllyn layout is set in present day, which is preservation where all the stock is frequently cleaned and looks very shiny. It’s not per say a criticism, just something I’ve been wondering.
No, it’s a valid point. Even though it’s present day, stock isn’t that clean - and this is autumn. But it’s less that. More that it adds a layer of detail that the stock seems to need. Without the wash, they just look to ‘model’
@ that’s fair, I’ve always thought the present day stock is mostly clean, but after looking at some photos that definitely is not the case! Thanks for pointing this out!
@@stuartclement1506 good to hear, they’re great, and the range will expand in the near future.. I used Humbrol 62 which is as close as I can find to TR brown
Love those coaches!
Cheers, they’re great quality
Lovely work as usual George .
Cheers mate

I hadn’t thought of it like that, but I see what you mean
They look stunning. Had to watch this twice as I was painting some ModelU loco crews up.
Happy with that, watch it a third time if you want 😂
I may just do that. 🤣

Yes I think I’ve used that at some point, good stuff

Yeah they’re well designed, I look forward to building more by them in the future
Lovely little (long) coaches!
I really hope they come out in larger scales one day as well as in 009
That would be good!
Lovely job!
Cheers mate
you could try, spaying mat varnish over the masking, before the contrasting colour to stop the blead under
I learned this technique for another contrasting paint project as a way to get crisp lines and it really does work well.
Yes good idea, I will have to remember that
They really look the part and the black wash really makes the beading pop
Thanks, yes it works really well with stock like this
Nice to see these made! I've done several of their carriages (including a rake of Ffestiniog 'barns'), and I'm aiming to model these at some point!
Yeah they’re great kits, have fun!

What’s the issue you’re finding? I didn’t see a problem when I built them, and they run like a charm

Yes I originally thought they meant a beer, but they were talking about ‘getting in the tinny’ on a fishing trip, first I’d heard it!

I am, I have so much going on at the moment, but I have always been tough on myself whilst reflecting!
Great work on those coaches, George 👍.
When I do black washes, I feel your pain. You spend ages getting the paint job perfect only to dowse it in watered down black paint, wondering if you've just made a big mistake.
Yes, every time. But it always seems to improve the look of the stock, so I’ll keep going with it!

Hey, a coach is a coach
Hi could you tell me what shade of brown you use for painting the outside of the coaches
Hi I think it’s Humbrol no62
@@GWilliamsonModels thanks

Will you make Sir Hayden soon?
I’ll be making no3 in its current form once bachmann release their sir handel
@@GWilliamsonModelsbecause of the chassis?
@ exactly :)
@@GWilliamsonModelsCan’t you use Skarloey or Peter Sam’s chassis’?
@ no, I’d rather wait for sir Handel - no rush, it’s only a couple of months away, and I still need to do no1 talyllyn before that
A " tinnie " in new zealand is $20 worth of weed hahaha love the videos by the way keep me inspired to do my own model railway :))
Seems a popular word 😅
Brilliant, I’m now £69 lighter! May I ask, what is the brown colour name please?

What? What did you see?
I feel kinda bad I just bought the last of them on eBay for some skarloey coaches
