The third and final Wagon in my weathering session was a Dapol BR Brake Van. These are some of the hardest wagons to weather – especially the getting the shading between the planks in the veranda ends. These are the definitely a labour of love to complete.
Another of the recent batch of weathering. This is a 3D printed model, printed in 2 halves, since this was made, my friend has now perfected this model as a one piece print. I have a one piece model to paint and weather later.
This is a resin kit I purchased a few months ago – just got around to finishing it and weathering it. I did not purchase a container for it as I wanted it parked up in a siding as a failure! Something a bit different!
Carrying on with the OO weathering session – here we have six Locos all weathered to a light to medium standard. Note D1500 is an old Bachmann version and D1565 is their latest offering, both are factory DCC sound fitted.
Busy two days weathering some wagons for a friend. These wagons will appear at the Bawdeswell Exhibition in April. The wagons were airbrushed, dry brushed with a few powders to make them look in working condition. I hope to finish off the Locos over the next couple of days.
Here is some O Gauge weathering that I have recently finished. All have had a Light to Medium application using an airbrush, dry brushing and some powders.
Jinty 3F
Sentinel
BR (W) Class 2251
BR(SC) J36
Ex GWR Van
Here we have a Hornby OO J15 with an added Tender Cab. This is a 3D printed item from NIU Models. This is a straight forward addition with the minimum trimming needed, but it will need a small painting job, a little weathering will help blend Tender Cab. We chose the Loco number from actual photos to ensure the finished model is prototypical.
I thought you would all like an update on this Layout. It is now owned by Group member Graham, but is still using my rolling stock until Graham ‘Spratts’ his stock.
Graham has made some changes to the layout, mainly a switchable system between DC and DCC, but also the layout now has working Yard lights. The layout is still available for Exhibitions and is bookable through this site. I like to call it ‘Little Sefton at dusk with sound’
I would like to thank the BSE Club for their great hospitality and a superb Show – Looking forward to their anniversary Exhibition at the BSE Cathedral with a different layout.
Another excellent set of photos by my Wife.
Here are two Sentinels, one straight from the box, but the other has moved from LNER branding to Early BR and in Departmental service. Getting transfers for the move to a Departmental Loco proved very difficult – the Departmental Loco and number were obtained from Fox transfers, but I could not trace any Civil Engineers transfers of the correct size and BR(E) logo. In the end I cut up some ‘Beer Wagon’ transfers in O Gauge to form the BR.E logo that was also used on this type engine – but not No. 42. I will call this a fair representation rather than accurate for the No 42.
I have also added some extra coal since the photos were taken.
Another batch of wagons I started at The Dereham Demo. These were also treated to some Designer Gouache rusting and general wear and tear. Again I used Satin Varnish and Enamel Paints to finish.
