This is a narrow gauge O gauge Loco that I have just painted and weathered for Graham. It is a 3D printed Model and a first for me in this gauge. It still has to have its DCC chassis fitted.
Locos
Pegasus Cement Ready
It has been tight, but the layout is now ready for its first Exhibition. The O Gauge shunting plank will attend the GOG Meet Up at Bury St Edmunds on Sunday (15/9).
My part in its development is now over after doing all the weathering of stock and buildings. I have also added an office building above the entrance and some barrels, pallets and loaded pallets.
I think Graham, the owner plans to add a portacabin or similar and some workers. That should pull it all together nicely.
Dirty Pannier Tank (O Gauge)
This is an ex GWR pannier tank as produced by Dapol in O Gauge. It was a Light Green NCB variety that my friend Rob had changed the logo to BSC and re-numbered it. My only instruction was to do a heavy weathering with a bit of rust. Please bear in mind the original colour!!!!!
Bachmann Class 25/3 (OO)
This is another Loco just finished – nothing unusual just a medium weathering by airbrush and dry-brushing. You can really get some good effects with the grey roof versions.
D49 Cambridgeshire in OO
This was a simple name and re-number exercise for my dear friend Mike. There was also a light weathering. This is quite an old Hornby Model, but with care it still has its place on a layout.
WD (WW2) Ex GWR Dean Goods
Something a bit different! Many of this type of loco were taken into WD stock during WW2, they were worked very hard in service and care worn and unkempt. I have tried to bring this condition over in the model. This is a OO Loco renumbered after research.
WD 2-8-0 in OO weathered
I guess this should read, re-weathered as it was a factory weathered Loco, by Bachmann. I also renumbered it to an actual BR loco. It arrived as 90773 which was a preserved import. It is now 90771, a North Eastern Engine.
Hunslet DY1 in O Gauge
This is a model of a Ipswich Dock Shunter from the 1950’s. It is an old A1 Models Kit that was made by someone unknown. It has now been refurbished, repainted, sound fitted and weathered.
Pegasus Cement Factory (2)
Today the layout met some of its stock. We have a few minor amendments to do, but overall this was a very pleasing result. This is Grahams stock, I weathered most – but not all of these.
O Gauge J65 Tank.
This is a J65 that I have had quite a while. I have only just got around to detailing this loco and giving it a very light weathering. This was one of two J65’s that went to BR(E) ownership, this one to Ipswich, the other to Gt Yarmouth (South Town) – both had been withdrawn by 1956.
