This is a straight from the box plus numbering job – this is a medium weathering after a wash and wipe, air brushing and dry brushing.

O Gauge Class 20 – weathered
Although I have said that I weathered this Loco, it was in fact a lot more than that. When I received this loco it was in a bit of a state! It was a very poor repaint, with ‘orange peel’ finish and poorly applied weathering powders. I do not think the shade of BR blue is quite right and looks to have been some sort of ‘faded blue’. The original colour was R/F Grey and some of this was still showing through! It was also numbered into the centre head code batch of Locos although it was a disc variety! There was a half hearted attempt to put on a orange cantrail stripe and some parts of the original black window surrounds were still present. Overall a real mess! I wish I had taken some before and after photos – but did not! Anyway below is what I have turned it into after nearly five hours work. It is now backdated to 1968-70 with the slightly faded paint and scuff marks being left.

Brake Van in O Gauge -weathered
The third and final Wagon in my weathering session was a Dapol BR Brake Van. These are some of the hardest wagons to weather – especially the getting the shading between the planks in the veranda ends. These are the definitely a labour of love to complete.

ZCA Seahorse in O Gauge
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.

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 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.
