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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
