After selling Lowe St to Nick he has added to his stock – I have spent the last couple of days adding Sprat & winkle couplings to nine wagons and loops to two locos. I have then weathered the lot.

Here are the locos, the wagons will follow in batches of three over the next few days.

Class 05

Class 27

This is a loco I purchased a long time ago. I super detailed it and used it on my steam depot layout of the time ‘Alex Bridge’. When I sold the layout and most of its stock, this Loco was overlooked and not sold. I have now given the loco a light weathering before moving on to its new owner.

Here is a OO Class 20 D8015. I have weathered it as a ‘living with steam engines’ diesel in the late 50’s. I have left the headcode discs off so that my friend Ian can chose his own display to suit its duty of the day.

This is a Hornby J15 that I have re-worked as an earlier variety. It has now got the ‘British Railways’ logo and has been renumbered. The Loco has then received a medium weathering consisting of a dusting of grime by airbrush and then some dry brushing to highlight various details.

HMRS Transfers, Railmatch and Humbrol paints used.

This is a Loco that used to run on a layout that I sold several years ago. Since then it has just been stored awaiting a new project that so far has not materialised. It has now been serviced, re-numbered and BR Logo changed to an early crest. It should be going to a new home soon. It is lightly weathered, has a lamp added, Screw couplings and pipes and has real coal.

This a OO Loco that I have just sold after having it for many years, I have renumbered it as a Local Cambridge Loco for the new owner. I have also touched up the ‘light’ weathering.

To note on this Loco is the replacement chimney in Brass, real coal and a footplate crew. I think this gives a far better model.

When I sold ‘Lowe St’ to Nick I also said I would weather some more of his Loco’s and put the Spratt and Winkle loops on for him. I thinks he intends to make them DCC sound having already converted ‘Lowe St’ to a DCC system.

I am still working on two 08’s and some wagons – will be posted when finished.

This is the finished model of 37405 in what was the standard DRS livery up until about 5 years ago. This model was purchased in this livery as a limited edition. I have now detailed the Loco with all the usual DRS features and added the snow ploughs etc.
