Weathering Stoney End

Kelvin Barnes Uncategorized ,

Today I had a visit from Peter with his Stoney End O16.5 layout. We have now weathered the track and surrounds in readiness for its next two Exhibitions. The layout will be at Shenfield Exhibition this Saturday (21st). Two other of our group layouts will also be in attendance, Framlington with Nick and Ashwell Moor with my Son John, please go and have a chat with the lads.

Peter will also be at the Cathedral in Bury St Edmunds on the 28th along with my ‘London Transport’ Layout Dark Lane.

O16.5 Narrow Gauge

Well, this is a first for me, weathering a ready to run O16.5 Steam Loco. Graham M gave me the Loco several weeks ago, so did a lot of thinking about it. Finding photos of a real working loco in colour is not easy – but I found a couple, but did not really help me to much. Plenty of pristine, preserved photos available, but nothing really ‘workaday’.
