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.

O Gauge weathering Session
Here are five items of rolling stock that have recently gone through my weathering system – this is a rather diverse selection.
Grain Wagon (Kit Built)
Parkside Kit 12T Van
Bachmann Brass Tank
Bachmann Brass HEA
Dapol CCT
Three OO Locos Sold and weathered.
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.
Fairburn Tank
BR STD Class 4 tank
Midland 3F
Look – No Locos
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.
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.
Mission Road thro’ the bridge.
Here are a few photos I took of my O gauge layout Mission Road – No Locos about – but thro’ the bridge and over the top.
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.
