About product

Diesel Loco Roof Grey, a shade for British railroad vehicles

Diesel Loco Roof Grey is a modeling paint from a coherent Lifecolor range devoted entirely to the finishes of British railroad vehicles. The name of the shade is aimed at the gray of the roofs of diesel locomotives. On locomotives the roof tends to be done in a different color from the sides, so it is a shade that cannot be derived from the main finish of a vehicle and is bought separately.

What the shade covers

Paradoxically, the roof is most visible precisely on a model. Whereas with a real vehicle you will not look at it from a platform, a layout is viewed from above and the roof makes up a large part of what a viewer will see. It therefore pays to give it the same attention as the sides. A gray roof is at the same time the place where the most grime and exhaust deposits hold, so it is a rewarding ground for the weathering that follows and that gives a model believability. The shade finds use on the roof panels and around the exhausts and cooling grilles.

Recommendations for use

  • Stir the contents of the package thoroughly before use, so that the shade is even.
  • Work in several thin coats rather than in one heavy one.
  • Try the shade on an offcut or in a less visible place first.
  • Paint roofs with the same care as the sides; on a layout they are the most visible.
  • Add deposits and grime only once the finish is complete.

Who the color is for

The shade will be appreciated by modelers of British railroads and builders of layouts who finish locomotives in detail, including the roof. It will serve outside railroads too as a neutral darker working gray.

Keep out of the reach of children and ventilate while working. Close the package carefully after use and store it upright.

FAQ

It is one paint, that is, a single shade. Sets are sold separately as items of their own.

Yes. The range is built as a whole for British railroad vehicles, so a complete palette from one family of colors can be put together from it for one train.

Yes. The name of the shade refers to railroad finishes, but its use is not limited by that. You can reach for it anywhere that tone suits you.

On locomotives the roof tends to be dealt with separately and in a different tone from the main finish. It therefore cannot be derived from the color of the sides and is bought as a shade of its own.
