Ffrwchnedd Redux

You may remember that, a few months back, I had made the decision to convert the A1 diesel locomotive into a Perma-quip style vehicle that would be used on permanent way workings along the railway. I did not like the outcome of the first time I painted it. The yellow looked disgusting and I was not at all satisfied with the overall quality of what I had produced.

So I took the decision to strip this paintwork off and start again. Research and discussion led me to the conclusion that yellow is a very tricky colour to get right and I could not rush into it. 

I stripped the paint back and have made use of some basecoat paint from Games-Workshop, which would act as a good primer for future coats of yellow.

Below are two pictures; one of the 'primer' coat and one with the first layer of yellow. I think you will agree that it looks better already.

I have also began the process of transforming the N-gauge wagon chassis into a trailer vehicle for the main vehicle.
