Here we have two southern region engines weathered for a friend – The Adams tank is a light weathering and the Drummond 700 is medium to heavy.

Re-think on O Gauge Stabling Point
After much discussion with my son it has been decided that the stabling point will become – a fuelling point!
This is not a big change and it does not require any track relaying. We have obtained a Scenecraft Fuelling Point and a Hampton Hill platelayers hut to add to the layout. Actual placement will be decided later but the modifications required are being planned.
We have also added a 1″ square piece of softwood to the front of the layout to enable a curtain to be hung at exhibitions.
The layout also now has a name —— Ashwell Moor FP
More O Gauge Loco’s for Shaun
This is the second pair of Loco’s I have weathered for Shaun. Both are light to medium weathered and are standard DC.
Both Loco numbers were picked for their longevity in the appropriate livery.
Dapol 08 – D3045
Heljan Class 31 – D5593
O Gauge wagons for Graham M
These three wagons were all made to a very high standard by Graham and then passed to me for painting and weathering.
Although a quite diverse batch covering over fifty years, they all required separate research on actual liveries and weathering.
For the first time I have taken ‘before and after’ photographs.
