Farewell Ebridge Mill

Recently our group split and we all went our separate ways. Ebridge was owned by us all and it has now been sold to another friend. Ebridge was made by Mike and Graham and did many exhibitions including Warley – I am not sure whether it will remain on the exhibition circuit.

Two N7/3 in O Gauge

Here we have two Hill N7/3’s – one fully weathered and the other just out of works in immaculate condition. I never weather all my locos and always leave about one in ten as ex works. I remember this in the mid/late 50’s when I was a lad – sadly by the early sixties most engines were in an awful state, even the early diesels!

Todays Freight Loco -J50

The Little Sefton Daily Freight today is Norwich based J50 – 68905. It usually was on Loco release work at Thorpe Station – but escaped for the trip down to Little Sefton, my O Gauge Layout.

Hornby OO Colchester SWE Coaches

This is Hornby’s latest release in OO based on the Colchester Signal Works Engineers Coaches in the 1950’s. My friend Ian asked me make them ‘less bright’ and in a ‘well used’ condition, below are the results.

O Gauge weathering Session

Here are five items of rolling stock that have recently gone through my weathering system – this is a rather diverse selection.

Grain Wagon (Kit Built)

Parkside Kit 12T Van

Bachmann Brass Tank

Bachmann Brass HEA

Dapol CCT

Three OO Locos Sold and weathered.

I have recently sold some more of my OO steam Locos. All have been renumbered, had the first BR logo added and weathered, ranging from light to medium. All these locos visited Cambridge during the early – mid fifties.

Fairburn Tank

BR STD Class 4 tank

Midland 3F

Look – No Locos

This is my O Gauge Layout ‘Mission Road’ – the views are thro’ and over the top of the bridge. The layout only has two points and the fiddle yard is a three option sector plate. Total size 6′ x 2′ and holds about 12 – 15 Locos depending on size.
