Two N7/3 in O Gauge

Here we have two Hill N7/3’s – one fully weathered and the other just out of works in immaculate condition. I never weather all my locos and always leave about one in ten as ex works. I remember this in the mid/late 50’s when I was a lad – sadly by the early sixties most engines were in an awful state, even the early diesels!

Todays Freight Loco -J50

The Little Sefton Daily Freight today is Norwich based J50 – 68905. It usually was on Loco release work at Thorpe Station – but escaped for the trip down to Little Sefton, my O Gauge Layout.

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.

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.

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.

OO Gauge WD J94 0-6-0

I was given a Industrial J94 in Blue and Yellow Livery – I was asked to produce this Loco as it worked at Chesterton Junction, Cambridge in 1946 to 1952. I was given a couple of B & W photos and some research notes. The friend that gave me this task remembered this Loco when he was a lad in the late 40’s.

The transfers were purchased from Railtec and paints were Humbrol and Railmatch.

I must admit I had never heard of this Loco until approached to repaint and model it. I was told it only worked on MOD traffic within the large yard confines.

This what I started with.
