Today the layout met some of its stock. We have a few minor amendments to do, but overall this was a very pleasing result. This is Grahams stock, I weathered most – but not all of these.

Just a quick update after doing a few small jobs. I have added a Point Lever, still to be weathered. There are now some weeds at the edges of the concrete plinth and buildings. Hopefully the next update will include some stock and hopefully the top loading silo.

This is an O Gauge plank – shunting layout that I have been working on for a group member. It is not finished as it awaiting a canopy for the entrance and a cement loader to fill top filling wagons. All stock is already weathered – they just have not met yet!!

O Gauge J65 Tank.
This is a J65 that I have had quite a while. I have only just got around to detailing this loco and giving it a very light weathering. This was one of two J65’s that went to BR(E) ownership, this one to Ipswich, the other to Gt Yarmouth (South Town) – both had been withdrawn by 1956.

OO Gauge Ex L & Y – 3F
This is a Loco made by ‘OO Works’ and very good it is. My task was merely to number it and give it a light weathering.

O Gauge Thompson Buffet
This is an O gauge Darstead Model of Thompson Buffet. Coaches are always a bit different to weathering Locos. You have to break this task into three parts, The roof, the body and the underframe, mainly because the bodies are regularly washed and cleaned. On this model the roof and underframe are medium, the body is only a wash and wipe of the door area, so very low, more ‘shadowing’ then weathering.

I Purchased this Loco from a member of the O Gauge Guild at a very good price. The Loco was a bit tatty and the weathering left a bit to be desired, however it was a very good runner. I have now re-painted, renumbered, added further detail and re-weathered it. Below are the results.
I admit buying off Ebay etc. can be a bit of a gamble, but for me as long as the Loco is good runner and the kit is well constructed with no missing parts, then the actual paintwork is of less importance.

O Gauge BR(E) Class E4
This is a recent Ebay purchase that has been completely refurbished. I have done a partial repaint, renumber, weather and added some extra detail.
This was one of the E4’s that moved North for a while, and during this time had a more enclosed cab fitted, instead of the more basic GE variety.

O Gauge J79 0-6-0T
I was asked if I could salvage this Loco – it was made to a very good standard, but very poorly painted – it had not been undercoated and the topcoat was flaking quite badly! I did a complete repaint, re-number and weathering job, results below.

BR Sentinel in O Gauge.
This is a partial repaint of a Dapol Green Loco. I had already weathered this Loco while in green, so it was a concentrated effort on the body only that was needed. After repainting and lettering, I then blended the body weathering with the already done chassis.
