Whistler Smother

Our Class 20 (20 034) was another of the locos that we have recently had weathered by Alex of Mikron Models in Taunton.

Unlike the poor Warship, featured in earlier postings, we wanted this loco to undergo only a medium amount of weathering and, again, the result is excellent.

The lower part of the loco (bogies, buffers etc) have all been treated to a layer of dust and dirt while the roof has been smothered in a layer of black grime. Now she really does look like the work-horse that she is on our layout, handling anything from freight services to local passenger duties and, even, the occasional station pilot.

Yes, you might say, she's as pretty as a picture!
