V 36 previously WR 360 C12

started with the chassis, this not only in red, inside also black and rusty

added brake hydraulic line and (only) 4 sanding dispensers

chassis assembled so far, first steps at the driving stand, many handles made 🙂

additional wiring, hooks and handles

loose fit of "Fahrstand"

green was often the colour for the upper part of the Diesellokomotiven at the "Deutsche Reichsbahn", from maschienengrün bis flaschengrün... here now a lightly darkened olive green

starting final fitting, washing and weathering

used a U-crew as staff

Railbase from the box, not optimal, ballast stones too big

locomotive signs are only temporary, it can be done even better...

tracks are new ballasted, need it anyway for the "railway station" project

now with new ballast

very well done lokomotive. Consider a homemade base. It has not the same standard as the machine you so wonderfully rendered.

Thanks mates, @Michael: yes, base ist a "quick shot"...
I'm thinking about a "station project", This V36 and a BR86 were in the 60's in Raw Karl-Marx-Stadt...

I'm liking the loco and track lots, Ho Ko, but the uniformity of the ballast detracts... May I suggest some different dark washes, as if there were fresh (lighter) ballast laid on top of old, dirty ballast? Some 'shadows' in the gaps between the stones might transform it from a plastic appearance, to more realistic stones. I loved your tractor base, so I know you have an 'eye' for realism 🙂👍 What is your opinion? If it is how You want it, then ignore all of the above 😉

Thanks again 🙂, @Bruce: you're so right 👍, the base from the box its for a 1/35 scale I think 🙁 , the ballast and spaces between are too big.
I started with a wash but the effect was so small and i only had time today 🙂, So it was I "quick shot"...
For a "Railway station" project I think about a new ballasting (graveling) or using only the tracks.

for the "Raw" project I looked for better ballast stones and for H0-scale are enough...
So tested weathering with pastels and applying here.
