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.

The next batch are four Tank Wagons. Two are the latest Dapol Models as early Esso TTV ‘s – the other two are kit built BP TTA’s by Skytrex.
Enamel Paints only were used on these wagons – both Airbrushed and Dry Brushed
Here we have some various wagons weathered by using Designer Gouache as well as airbrushed Enamel paints – firstly two Hoppers, a Van and Shock open.
I did all the brush work using the Designer Gouache at a Demo at the Dereham Exhibition, I then airbrushed them with Satin Varnish to seal them and weathered the Chassis with Enamels as normal.
I find that using DG helps me to create a little depth to the rust etc, rather than enamels that can look a little flat!
Just spent the last of my Swap-meet sales money on this beauty – 65327 Prototype made in 1900 and withdrawn in 1965. I need to change the late BR logo to the early version and of course weather it – but no time to do that at present.
My latest O Gauge Diesel is 47231 in 3 tone grey and named ‘The Silcocks Express’. I recently sold a lot of OO stock at a Swap-meet and the move to O Gauge continues. This Engine was a member of the Tinsley Speedlink allocation and performed all over the country. I even have a photo of it working a Summer Saturday passenger train in the late 80’s.

Last weekend was a very busy one – after being at Dereham on Saturday, we were at the Sudbury Club organised Charity Exhibition on Sunday. We took Grahams Little Sefton Layout after purchasing it off me a couple of weeks ago. We were still running my stock as Grahams had not been prepared yet.
The Exhibition was very busy, the ‘star of the show’ was Nigel Locke’s magnificent Long Melford Junction, but all layouts and displays were top class and much appreciated by the public. As the attendance was larger than expected, a special mention to the Catering Team who did superb work and kept us all fed and watered.
On Saturday 2/3/24 we were at the Mid Norfolk Model Railway Exhibition – we had Grahams 16mm (SM32) WW1 Layout there. A few Photos taken by my wife on this very enjoyable and busy day.
This Layout is at March Model Railway Exhibition on 9/3/24 – come and say hello.
I have added this layout to our list of Exhibitions Layouts. It is owned by our Friend Peter Rye and is available for Exhibitions. Here are some recent Photos of the layout.
On Saturday 2/3/24 we had a Layout and a Demo at the Mid Norfolk Railway Model Exhibition – here we have Graham, Peter, Shaun, Alan and myself.

Just named and numbered Class 33 number 33019 Griffon – had this Loco since they came out, but only just got around to doing this task. Will be weathered eventually, but I am way behind, lets hope we have a good summer!
