Can I add my congratulations John. That is a wonderful model. Do you have time to build another for me?

Two questions. What blue paint did you use and did you line it yourself.

Might I had my congrats? A fine job.

In relation to an earlier post I am happy to supply etches for use in folks' projects. In this case it is not as simple as body and chassis I'm afraid. There is a nickle-silver etch and a brass etch, the former being mostly but not exclusively concerned with the chassis. Might be easiest if anyone interested downloads the instruction sheets from https://caley.com/class670.php where all is made clear.

A truly beautiful job. The livery is so well done.

Thanks again for the kind comments.

In answer to Tony's questions, the paint is a 50/50 blend of the Railmatch and Precision Caley light blues. I found the Precision one too dull and the Railmatch a bit too lurid. The latter seems a good representation of the paint used on number 419 after its recent overhaul, but it seems too bright in 4mm scale.

The lining is mostly Fox Transfers LNER lining - it is slightly finer than the Modelmaster version.

Cheers

Indeed , excellent painting and lining there John.

These 670s are like busses, none for ages and then lots turn up. So here is another ;

And some video of it in action .

Another really nice model. Thanks for sharing the video showing it in action. Still some kits in stock...

Not only great to see the loco at work, Dave, but it was a delight to see all the work on your layout. Thanks,

Really impressive job Dave. Lovely to see it in the dark blue and great running round your impressive set up.

Cheers

John
