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!
O Gauge Class 33
Locos
Old Friends from the Mid 80’s
Here are three O Gauge Copies of engines I saw regularly over 30 years ago. I purchased the models over a year ago and have just got around to adding the transfers and detailing. They of course will be suitably weathered, but that’s a way off as yet.

3 X O Gauge Diesels
Here are three Diesels I have just numbered, lettered and named. All will be weathered when I catch up. The nameplates are Protoneo and the transfers are Railtec. The NR Class 31 is so bright, I may just let that one jump the weathering queue or get some tinted glasses!!!!

Wagon Shunter in O Gauge.
I have recently weathered a railway vehicle for my friend Graham M. It looks like a flat wagon with an added cab and internal combustion engine. It was purchased off Ebay for curiosity value. It is unpowered but Graham intends to motorise it. Its origins seem to be European, but we are lead to believe that a few were imported to the UK. I believe they cost about £30-35, and it is solidly built apart from the wheels which are awful and would benefit from replacement, motorising or not. I could see a motorised loco (wagon) on a nice little O Gauge shunting plank. Another mate has already invested in one.

Early Diesels in OO
Another part of my recent weathering batch was a pair for my friend Ross. Again sadly I have had them for nearly six months – I hope he likes them after all this time. Both the Class 14 and Class 17 are medium weathered.

3 x OO Steam locos weathered
After many months without doing weathering, I have returned to doing a little weathering for a couple of my friends. I have had these locos for over four months and I do hope my friend Mike thinks the wait was worth it. These are all Locos that visited Cambridge during the early fifties.

Coal Sector Class 31 in O Gauge
I have had this Loco for quite some time and its turn to be numbered etc has come. It is Crewe (CD) based coal sector loco 31312. This loco was used on Nuclear Flask trains and was seen throughout the country. Weathering will again take place much later. Transfers are Railtec and etches are Protoneo.

2 Class 47’s in O Gauge
Here are two Class 47’s that were related to Stratford Depot (SF). The first is a pure SF mid 80’s Loco, 47596 Aldeburgh Festival. The second is a loco that inherited the Benjamin Gimbert GC nameplates after the original Loco moved away. 47574 then in Parcels livery was the lucky Loco.
