Next Project (Long Story)

I started this OO layout about 15 years ago for a friend. I can not remember the full reason the project was suspended, but its been sitting in a garage for a long time!

I swapped it for some weathering work, and it is now back with me! It has faired very well in the many years of storage and after a clean, ran very well.

I have several things to decide, whether to change the track plan a little, run as steam or diesel, what era and the time of year it is to be set in!

I have even asked a few mates for input, as it could become a group layout.

D49 Cambridgeshire in OO

This was a simple name and re-number exercise for my dear friend Mike. There was also a light weathering. This is quite an old Hornby Model, but with care it still has its place on a layout.

WD (WW2) Ex GWR Dean Goods

Something a bit different! Many of this type of loco were taken into WD stock during WW2, they were worked very hard in service and care worn and unkempt. I have tried to bring this condition over in the model. This is a OO Loco renumbered after research.

WD 2-8-0 in OO weathered

I guess this should read, re-weathered as it was a factory weathered Loco, by Bachmann. I also renumbered it to an actual BR loco. It arrived as 90773 which was a preserved import. It is now 90771, a North Eastern Engine.

Locos for WR layout (OO)

Here are 5 locos I have weathered for Group Member Peter to run on a WR Layout that is awaiting completion. All are a medium weathering. Hopefully Peter will let me take some photos of them on the layout when finished. I am in process of weathering the wagons for the layout at the moment, they will appear here later.
