This is the last of the batch I recently weathered. This is a standard Heljan O Gauge release, but I have added Protoneo plates.

Again ‘Croft’ was a visitor to East Anglia on Aggregate trains and was seen several times. It has received a medium weathering to the frame and bogies, with the bodyside having a light dusting.

Heljan O Gauge 56063 – now weathered. Medium Bogies and frames and light sides, I chose this Loco as it was a regular visitor into East Anglia. The Railfreight livery application by Heljan was excellent and took the weathering very well.

This is a conversion of an O Gauge Class 31/4 back to a Class 31/1. 31128 is currently the only Class 31 with a mainline certificate. I stripped all the ETH equipment off the Loco, filled the holes, masked off the area and undercoated and top coated as necessary.

I have now given the Loco a light to medium weathering. Sadly the Heljan 31/4 does not come with snowploughs, so the Loco remains plough-less until I can source some.

Here we have an O Gauge Class 37 in ‘as delivered’ livery, about six months into service. It has received a medium weathering on the roof, frames and bogies but the bodyside has only received a light dusting. This assumes that some form of cleaning took place even when shedded alongside the disappearing steam locos. All detailing accessories were added and missing parts sourced and added.

My O Gauge Macintosh Tank Engine has now been weathered. It has received a medium coating of grime and a little highlighting. I used my airbrush and a few weathering powders,

This is my first first attempt to post on my new Computer – I think I have fathomed it all out – fingers crossed.

I have spent the last two days preparing and weathering ten pieces of O Gauge Stock – here is the first to be finished. This 08 was based at Eastfield and is in 1987 – 89 livery. This is a light to medium weathering.

At last I have finished 50008 into its 2021 running condition. The Hanson and Hall transfers are from Railtec and very nice they are. I will eventually give it a light weathering, but that will have to wait a while. Maybe not for the purist but it gives me a chance to run a 50 in my 2018-2022 era.

This Loco is now finished as it was running in the mid 80’s. Overall this is a light to medium application and it certainly makes the loco more realistic.

This is my last Loco of the current batch, it is destined for my Mate in Australia. 37403 Isle of Mull is modelled as newly converted into a 37/4 in 1985.

This was a bit of a challenge as this loco was converted from an ex Western Region loco and retained its regional lamp irons. Adding them was not the problem – finding some was! I eventually tracked some down and duly purchased them.

The nameplates are Fox and the transfers are a mixture of Fox and Railtec.

This Loco will have a medium weathering, more photos later.
