The Bachmann 37s are great locos and still available for a really good price - and the WCR maroon really suits the loco, a classy livery. When I started weathering I used to just spray the airbrush about with some dirty looking colour, but now I weather from photographs of the real locos. Doesn't need to be the exact number or livery - just the loco class in a degree of weathering that I'm aiming for. In this case though I wanted to capture that day by mimicking the full loco. Hope everything good with you and your layout over in the USA and thanks for watching. All the best, Colin
