Here are two Kit Built Sevenscale Pugs, one BR and the other LMS. The BR Pug was built to a very high standard and only a few tweaks and a light weathering were asked for by their owner Ollie. The second Pug I believe was an Ebay purchase and required a lot more work as it was built to a lesser standard, had a few bits missing. It was also in the wrong LMS livery for Ollie, so a partial repaint and new number and transfers required, it also has been given a light weathering.

This is my latest purchase, it came already weathered, but I have added extra detail. I have added Loco Lamps, Fire Irons and touched up various areas of the original weathering.

I spent yesterday fitting snowploughs to some of my recent loco’s.

This loco is not one of the current batch, but one of three I purchased in the first batch several years ago. Of the three this is the only one that currently works as the other two have the traditional Heljan gear slip problems – I will seek help and get them replaced before I weather them. I have sprayed the full yellow warning panel on the loco to have something a bit different. This loco has received a medium weathering.

This is a Class 31 that I purchased when the first batch came out several years ago. Only now have I got around to weathering it. I have not changed the exhaust ports to the original engine variety as I may well still do it as a English Electric at a later date. This is a light to medium weathering as it represents a loco not long in service, but still living with steam engines.

I have just got around to weathering my Class 14. I have given it a medium grimy coating as towards the end this class was unloved. I picked the number of the Loco based on one that was a Western Region original but also saw limited service in the Northeast before being withdrawn.

I have now fitted some of my Terriers with ‘Spark Arresters’. These are 3D printed and obtained off Ebay. A bit of a warning though, not all Terriers were fitted, so some research is necessary. Three of my four Terriers were fitted, but one was not.

They will be weathered later.

This is a Bachmann Brass 4F that I have been working on for a few days. It has had a partial repaint and renumbering. The main jobs were to replace the chimney, dome and vacuum and steam pipes, but I also added real coal, a crew and fire irons.

Will be weathered when everything is well and truly dry.
