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.
BR(S) Locos on Mission Road.
Locos
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.

Aspinall 2P 2-4-2T weathered in O Gauge
This is one of my quite recent purchases, it seems to have jumped the system a bit! I have given the loco a medium weathering of grime and dirt to indicate by this time it did not see much cleaning, if any. I have used a little gloss varnish around the water filler tank lids, indicating a recent top up.

Refurb and weather-Black 5-O Gauge
I have done a refurbishment and weathering of this rather rough Black Five. It has not been an easy job as the bulk of the loco has rather crudely been put together with super glue and epoxy resin instead of soldering! I have continued using these glues doing refurbishment as I had no other choice. I am very pleased with the outcome considering the constraints – it will look good sitting on a Steam Shed Layout – a lot of running could cause other problems.

O Gauge E1R BR(S) weathered
This is a Loco I purchased about four years ago, when it arrived and was tested it proved to be a poor runner. After various attempts to rectify it, it has now been repaired by my friend Ian Hammond and now runs perfectly. I have now weathered it to a medium standard and it now joins my growing BR(S) fleet 1955-62.

O Gauge 2251 BR(W) purchase
I recently purchased this loco – it needs finishing, hence a good price. The work that needs doing is as follows. Fit fall plate, add coal, paint safety valve cover, paint chimney cap. paint dummy valve gear, add footplate crew and finally a medium weathering.
