Here are a pair of Mk1’s – a SO and a CK – these are again heading to Australia for my mate Graham. They have had the roof and underframe done to medium level, but the sides have been totally cleaned apart from residue in the door frames. It would have been nice to photograph these two coaches with the Class 27 that I recently finished – sadly my old photo plank is not large enough.

This is a medium weathered 50017 Royal Oak. This loco will also be heading to Australia in the future. All usual methods used – nameplates by ‘Protoneo’.
This is a medium weathered 27040. I am starting to catch up a bit with friends stock – but still a long way to go. This one is heading to Australia in the future.
This is a loco I have had for a few months and have been slowly working on it. Yesterday I completed it with a Medium to Heavy weathering. It was a partial repaint and touch up as well as cab detailing and re-transferring warning flashes.
Catching up with some O Gauge weathering as well – very diverse subjects.

Here are two Darstead/Ellis Clark Thompson Full Brakes – one in lined Crimson and one in lined maroon. These are very nice and robust coaches and weather very well. Highly recommended.
Must admit these coaches would go well with the Heljan Maroon CCT’s. See previous post.

This is one of very few O Gauge P.O wagons I have weathered – it is a Slaters or similar with pre-printed sides. The plank joins are not as deep as some other brands, but I managed to get some semblance of shadowing in the joins – sadly this model has no planking on the inside and it shows and looks flat! I was given this to weather many months ago, but slowly catching up. If this was my wagon, I would definitely give it a full coal load.
At last I have finished this Parkside O Gauge Kit – I purchased it nearly six months ago and it has been pushed back many times, it is now finished. It will be used on my O gauge steam layouts.
This is the last couple of wagons from my recent weathering work – just did the dry brushing over the weekend.
Here are a few photos of recent weathering exercise – the Jinty is a medium application and the Sentinal is medium to heavy. Method used was airbrushing with a little dry brushing. Both Locos are in O Gauge.
