Lining on the tanks

[Sir Clothem Cap]

I want to line out one of my mamods that has had a full repaint but I.m not sure how to acheive a good finish.

Has anyone done this and how do you do it?

[Sir haydn]

I use a bob moore lining pen, best finnish by far

[Sir Clothem Cap]

They are a bit pricy for doing one loco any cheap idaes or can I borrow one?

I would have thought trimline would do the job? or can't they withstand the heat from the side tanks?

[Sir Clothem Cap]

trimline? tell me more

[Narrow Minded]

For a "one off", you could try (top quality) masking tape??

[DolwyddelanLightRail]

I've never used trimline myself (and maybe i should have when i lined out Pheonix to begin with! ) i think it's a waterslide thing? or something simular, can't remember now!

[Narrow Minded]

i think it's a waterslide thing?

It's self adhesive, comes on a roll in the colour of your choice in several line "widths". Only the narrowest two are of any real use though.

Oops, double post, but I've just remembered - Locolines produce a set of lining transfers for the Mamod

ahh like the pinstripes on cars

I used gold trimline to do my bertie. It's not good for tight corners so obviously you can only do the square lining and not have the curved edges. I used two widths to do this. The link to that topic is below

You know you want the GER blue set... and paint the roof white....

[Sir Clothem Cap]

I'm not sure that will go with the post box red livery I've painted it in
