RE: Questions about plastic rail from a newbie - George_Gipping - 02-27-2015
Hope you're all well! I'll probably create a new thread for some of my specific questions, but I have been busy on ebay and have acquired a whole lot more track, rolling stock, and engines. Have yet to make any modifications yet - although I shall. Trying to figure out where to get boiler doors from that's cheaper than Hornby ones from eBay. Black modeling card, perhaps, although it isn't perfect.
A lot of the locomotives I've bought are very scruffy, though reliable runners. How can I best repaint them? Is there particular paint I'd be better off using?

I made the Scotsman and the BR tank among others
The GWR King smoke box door is a great fit on most engines, I paint them using humbrol enamel or acrylic. You could go a bit mad like myself and purchase some of the handrails off ebay too haha. I have pinched many an idea from HO/OO model railways.
