Hornby GRANGE...
Back in 2016, I bought a Hornby and a Bachmann 'Hall' and that was when I noticed the bufferbeam on the Hornby 'Grange' was far too shallow. It was one of Hornby's unfathomable's......
A deeper bufferbeam was added to my next coach sheet....
Halfords Acid 8 Etching Primer was brushed over the bufferbeam and buffer shanks...
....Followed by a coat of Precision Paints buffer beam red....
Some weeks later I decided to obliterate the weird green with early 1950's unlined black livery....
When a second Grange was purchased, it got my treatment for BR green locos, namely BS 224 Deep Bronze Green cellulose and slightly darkened Precision Paints BR orange lining. The chassis and other parts were also weathered...
