Two Thompsons weathered

Here we have a pair of Ellis Clark’s O Gauge Thompson coaches in BR(E) Maroon and Blood and Custard liveries. The bodies were wash and wipe, the roof and bogies/underframe were airbrushed.

Thompson 6 wheel Passenger Brake.

I have now completed the weathering of my O Gauge Passenger Brake Van – The first four photos are as weathered – the last photo is as originally purchased. A before and after comparison.

CRT Model of BR(E) Thompson.

I recently purchased this O Gauge model of a Thompson 6 wheel Passenger Brake Van. It was ready made and painted by CRT. Nothing to do but weathering, that will be done ASAP.

BR(S) Locos on Mission Road.

Mission Road is my O Gauge Steam Shed Layout. We had a photo session this afternoon, running BR(S) locos. Most are recently weathered Locos, they combine well in the Shed environment.

O Gauge Bachmann Brass PUG

At last I have got around to weathering this Loco after buying it many years ago. I have weathered it to a medium to heavy standard. It will run on my Steam Loco Depot in my BR (M) era when I finish it off.

OO Gauge WD J94 0-6-0

I was given a Industrial J94 in Blue and Yellow Livery – I was asked to produce this Loco as it worked at Chesterton Junction, Cambridge in 1946 to 1952. I was given a couple of B & W photos and some research notes. The friend that gave me this task remembered this Loco when he was a lad in the late 40’s.

The transfers were purchased from Railtec and paints were Humbrol and Railmatch.

I must admit I had never heard of this Loco until approached to repaint and model it. I was told it only worked on MOD traffic within the large yard confines.

This what I started with.

Little Sefton goes BR(M)

A photo session this morning on my O Gauge layout ‘Little Sefton’. I took Photos of all my recent weathered Locos and this is the BR(M) selection. I don’t think weathering really comes to life until the Locos are on a layout and working trains.

Bachmann Brass 4F weathered -O Gauge

This is a loco I purchased quite a while ago – I have further detailed the Engine by replacing the Chimney with a cast brass item and added fire irons etc. This weathering is medium to heavy, as running towards the end of its life.
