Here are a pair of the Dapol B4 that I have weathered, all the usual methods used, plus one extra – I thought the plastic body was a bit shiny so I coated them with a 50-50 coating of mixed Satin and Matt Varnish before weathering. I have weathered one Loco ‘light to medium’ and the other ‘medium to heavy’. See the difference with the photo of them side by side.
This is my latest purchase, I was going to do a medium weathering, but it is so well painted and lined, I have decided to do a very light weathering.
This is my Beattie Well Tank. The kit was purchased and made several years ago but only just weathered – Thanks to Ian Hammond who sorted out the gremlins with the motor/gearbox – now a smooth runner.
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.

Maroon
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.
