Hi DaveVery good weathering . It's the ability to achieve the heavier? weathering and damage where it's likely to occur i.e. the ends, leaving the bodysides cleaner.
The warning panels are too clean - where's the squashed entomology collection........ or didn't they go that fast? This was obviously more prevalent on the WCML - a selective enlargement from one of my photographs. Stafford in the early 80's . Okay - so it's blue and electric...... Off to the back of the class now.

What a great observation & question, 'Where's the squashed entomology collection'? I cannot recall seeing any model weathered which has captured the kamikaze insect nation on the yellow front ends of locomotives, I must admit to not even considering it, however I would think it would take some explaining that its entomology detail weathering and not some poor application with the air brush. I do recall seeing Western's at Swindon in the summer months with their front ends looking like your class 86.
Cheers
