Its surprising how relaxing these videos are, I like to sit back with a nice cup of tea and watch it on a big screen.

Saw this years ago and it inspired me to think repainting needn't be that hard. Got a compressor, airbrush, also a desktop spray booth... just getting my act together to start spraying paint around!

And you chose my favourite 50 Furious. Made my day looks incredible.

I really liked watching this, I have no plans to do this to my locos (yet) but I found it fascinating to watch. Well done mate. Dave

Another excellent tutorial, really looking forward, as always, to the next installment of Everard Junction. Counting the days to the start of my own layout when me and the mrs finally move house!

I have to say that I am delighted to have "discovered" this channel. It is a joy to watch these videos. Thanks for sharing.

You sir are a genius! This is an amazing how to and the coaches look perfect too! :)

Thanks for taking the time and trouble to show us how to repaint locos. Very informative and may even inspire me to have a go. Cheers Dave

Brilliant video as always! Love to see the level of detail and the care you take in all aspects of your layout. Looking forward to your next video already :)

Once again a fantastic tutorial , I'm sure I'm not the only one who uses your "How To's" as references as how things should turn out:-) thanks again, Mark

Another superb job. Just got into weathering with an airbrush and when I get more confident I will have a go at a respray.

Very amazing miniature train environment you have created here..!.. I thank you for posting these instructional tutorials. I'm sure it could take a lifetime to detail every little element, not only on the train units, but in the landscape as well. Very amazing...!! trains are so beautiful but most taken for granted by most everybody outhere... M.G. ...cheers from Phoenix, Arizona.

Brilliant tutorial. Gonna attempt one myself. That is a really nice loco now, and with the stock, makes for a cracking train. I like the simplicity of your teaching. Thanx for upload.

That's is brilliant. What a fantastic job you have done on the loco and coaches.

Fantastic stuff! Am a huge fan of your layout and class 50's.

Very good how-to tutorial there. Its certainly helped and inspired me to do some re-paints on some of my models. Brandon

Excellent how to video. I will be giving it a try on some of my recently acquired rolling stock

Another excellent How To.All look fantastic.

Great video, I've got a Dmu that I purchased with an extremely bad paint job, this video is a great tutorial that I can refer to. Excellent video and excellent job thank you.

Fantastic....as always. Every video you make is so well put together and explained. As such I always look forward to the next one.

Good job mate she looks great,cheers Tony

Brilliant video's richard I could watch them all day

Very nice paint job and excellent video.

Inspiring stuff. Great work, thanks for sharing.

Excellent video and tutorial. Many thanks for posting.

Superb tutorial. Excellent work on the painting as well. Lacking the skill you possess, I will just have to wait until I can buy the prepainted ones. Brilliant. Rob

Nice work very nice tutorial. Beautiful to see it and its coaches running.

Very good how to do video, enjoyed watching and learnt heaps, Thanks The repaint 50 and the coaches look real good Al

Beautiful work there!

Impressive and very helpful information on how to apply transfers also in this video. Cheers, matt.

Fantastic job mate !

Wow that looks amazing great video

you have done a damn fine job on that 50 and the coaches richard, well done mate.

One time, I needed a loco in a roadname that wasn't available. Rather than risk destroying a $300 loco, I ordered a second shell, an undecorated shell, and painted and weathered that one. For intricate designs, it's often possible to find transfers/decals, or even have custom transfers/decals made, for your railroad. Unfortunately, that's not always an option because undecorated shells are not usually available for most models.

you've done a fantastic job Richard of the repaint on the loco and the coaches, really is a top job, and looks so much better than the off the shelf model, not brave enough to try this, only just started to weather my trucks using the weathering powders video you did Andy

Thank you for posting this. Very well done tutorial video.

Very enjoyable to watch..Great work.

Great tutorial! And your loco turned out very well.

Awesome video and great modeling job.

This is fantastic as always Richard, top work. You must have the patience of a saint painting all of the coaches excellent. Mike

brilliant how to, thank you. this will be the next project

Great video, really helpful... I have only ever repainted model buses and coaches - i have not attempted my trains yet.... great video :) thumbs up from me. steve

fantastic video, i'm planning a project in the future to respray my class 43 in FGW!

a very good 'how to' video. I have book marked it for future reference especially for the air brush paint when i start using mine. One thought, i saw someone use masking tape for long tranfers

Thank you for such an informative video, the results are excellent and was a pleasure to view :)

Well beyond my capabilities mate looks the biz in that livery. Cheers Kev

youve done a beautiful job

Such a good and helpful video! thank you

Hi, a fine tutorial. Very well presented and the result is top ! I learned a lot and enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing. Greetings.

First Class modelling - Thanks for sharing.

Wow, great job! I wouldn't have the patience or skill to do that!

Really impressive results there and an excellent tutorial video, really informative and clear. One of your best videos yet...which is no small feat! Always loved NSE, I prefer the newer livery myself, but the original with the 'flash' up at the front looks so smart!

Fantastic Job well done!

Superb repaint! Just need weathering now!

Cracking vid and an awesome job!!!! I do a lot of this stuf n this was rather interesting!!

Great job, respect for you.

superb once again

great tutorial - thinking about respraying a network rail DVT when i get the chance now! Thanks! Also i prefer the original nse livery! great job well done

Superb how to video Richard the 50 and the rake of coaches look really good made it look really easy especially the decals I did a class 26 recently and I found that to be the hardest bit to do but I think I did not use the gloss varnish only used a Matt and they did not move around so easily thanks for sharing cheers Kevin

This is first class. A real inspiration. I have experience with spraying model cars but this is excellent. Perhaps you may consider giving a talk at Alley Pally through the Model railway club at King Cross London. top marks.

Perfect, Very nice tutorial !

Great video well done.

I'm not really a Network South East person but that's a brilliant job you've done!! Airbrushing looks different to hand painting.

Very impressed with the quality of your work. Slightly jealous to lol

Your dedication is impressive. I doubt I'll ever achieve such heights.............David

wow great job!!!

Great job ...

Washing up liquid breaks the surface tension of the water so the transfers slide easier

Cracking job, the end result is better than factory, the fox transfers go on no problem with the gloss finish, this has been one of my problems when making the plastic kits from Ratio. Love the work long may the videos continue. (sometimes i look back over all the old videos just to reference something but end up watching them for hours and forgetting what I was looking for :-) )

Fantastic job you have done there, I think if I give it a go, I will practice on an old Lima Class 50 first, excellent tutorial.

Don't think I will ever attempt anything like this, but a great video and an awesome job,,,

Brilliant!

Absolutely stunning!! Good thing the 50's don't have that many transfers on them. Maybe a class 70 to test your skills? :D

Superb "how to" buddy, thoroughly enjoyed it and it looks absolutely superb, cheers Stu @ Lime Junction

That fencing would look amazing painted with aluminium silver

It's beautiful I love it

wow you are very good at this

Fantastic work! G+'d.

i spy some irn bru. love that stuff

Everard junction and 5 elms. My two favourite KZfaq layouts. I read lots of railway modelers. So I would really enjoy it if you would put an article in railway modeler with a track plan. Your layouts are both great.

brilliant!

Superb, faultless. Wish I had half of your talent.

Awesome job!!! I'd love to do that to a H0 scale U11B to make it look as the INCOFER (costarrican railway) machines looks... ...but there is no H0 scale U11B ;-( Really, outstanding job!

To get a perfect gloss finish try Pledge Klear Multi Surface was with Future shine, it is water thin goes through an airbrush like a dream and cleans up easy, it gives a perfect gloss finish to laydown your decals. For standard colour paints like black and red give XtraColour a try, can get it from Hannants, they airbrush very well, their colours are for aeroplanes mostly but the basic colours work for all. Google search can give thinner ratios in relation to your setup air pressure, gun setup etc.

It looks better with a white roof but looking at the virgin hst's you can guess why diesel trains don't have white roofs!

very interesting video

its hard to tell which ones had that livery as their first one, and which ones you have resprayed. i guess that is the idea though. a job well done!!

Hi Richard - I bought a 1947 Hornby Dublo 0-6-2 tank in pretty poor shape paint wise, the original colour was olive green. can you advise me if Phoenix do a match for this colour? Kindest regards Paul ps. Thoroughly enjoy watching all your vids.

Great work. Just getting back into hobby after long break so one question regarding the mk2 coach repaints. I notice the glazing has the sliding window vents on so which method do you use to mask those off for painting?

Great tutorial. Early on showing your gear we see the compressor and the air dryer is horizontal. Isn't it supposed to be vertical ? Or does that it matter ?

i love the nse livery

Highly interesting to watch but just as I will never climb into a 50 metre high crane-tower I wouldn't even dare to think about this ! Question : HOW do you mix to finally get the correct colors of blue, red, grey and so on ? As there are hundreds colors of blue and other colors possible

What pressure do you use through the brush.

I love your vids. What camera do you use to film the intro it looks amazing !

I had one of these compressers for Christmas came with two airbrushes and more accessories im impressed so far at how quite it is. I haven't used it with paint yet . also im planning on repainting in to the br blue livery (n gauge ) im also going to upload how to's

Quick question: How did you see to paint the white over the white primer?

Great video. I have some Superstrip, and it mentions degreasing after use, this stuff costs £15 all-in. What do you do to the model once you've stripped it, before applying the first layer of paint?

Hi Richard , what kadee couplings do you use on your class 31,50 and your mk2 bachmann coaches Cheers. Paul

Hi, might be a daft question but when you say you mix paint in the airbrush bowl, do you mean just pour into the bowl or give it a slight stir to mix paint and thinner? What do you use to measure 50/50, just eyeball it? Thanks.

Is the HMG Paints thinners supplied for use with Railmatch paints also okay to use with Phoenix paints. I know that some enamel paints don't work with certain enamel thinners, as I found out when trying to use Humbrol thinner with Revell paint.
