Another of the recent batch of weathering. This is a 3D printed model, printed in 2 halves, since this was made, my friend has now perfected this model as a one piece print. I have a one piece model to paint and weather later.
O gauge
PFA in O Gauge – weathered
This is a resin kit I purchased a few months ago – just got around to finishing it and weathering it. I did not purchase a container for it as I wanted it parked up in a siding as a failure! Something a bit different!
O gauge weathering session
Here is some O Gauge weathering that I have recently finished. All have had a Light to Medium application using an airbrush, dry brushing and some powders.
Jinty 3F

Ex GWR Van
O Gauge wagon weathering (PT2)
The next batch are four Tank Wagons. Two are the latest Dapol Models as early Esso TTV ‘s – the other two are kit built BP TTA’s by Skytrex.
Enamel Paints only were used on these wagons – both Airbrushed and Dry Brushed
O Gauge wagon weathering (PT1)
Here we have some various wagons weathered by using Designer Gouache as well as airbrushed Enamel paints – firstly two Hoppers, a Van and Shock open.
I did all the brush work using the Designer Gouache at a Demo at the Dereham Exhibition, I then airbrushed them with Satin Varnish to seal them and weathered the Chassis with Enamels as normal.
I find that using DG helps me to create a little depth to the rust etc, rather than enamels that can look a little flat!
Holmes J36 in O Gauge.
Just spent the last of my Swap-meet sales money on this beauty – 65327 Prototype made in 1900 and withdrawn in 1965. I need to change the late BR logo to the early version and of course weather it – but no time to do that at present.
47231 Speedlink in O Gauge
My latest O Gauge Diesel is 47231 in 3 tone grey and named ‘The Silcocks Express’. I recently sold a lot of OO stock at a Swap-meet and the move to O Gauge continues. This Engine was a member of the Tinsley Speedlink allocation and performed all over the country. I even have a photo of it working a Summer Saturday passenger train in the late 80’s.

Little Sefton at Long Melford
Last weekend was a very busy one – after being at Dereham on Saturday, we were at the Sudbury Club organised Charity Exhibition on Sunday. We took Grahams Little Sefton Layout after purchasing it off me a couple of weeks ago. We were still running my stock as Grahams had not been prepared yet.
The Exhibition was very busy, the ‘star of the show’ was Nigel Locke’s magnificent Long Melford Junction, but all layouts and displays were top class and much appreciated by the public. As the attendance was larger than expected, a special mention to the Catering Team who did superb work and kept us all fed and watered.
O Gauge Class 33
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!
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.
