Massive N Gauge weathering task.

At the recent Stowmarket MRC Exhibition at Elmswell, my son debuted our new N Gauge layout ‘Coopers Common’. When I made the layout it was completely weathered, but on the day much of the stock was out of the box. Over the next few months I intend to weather all the stock and locos, I am fairly sure I can finish every thing before the next Exhibition in the Autumn, but other work will have to take a back seat!

Network Rail Ballast/Spoil Wagons (11 in rake)

Ketton Cement (10 in Rake)

Carless Tanks- Gas Condensate (9 in Rake)

EWS Large Boxes (6 in Rake)

Two HUO hoppers in O Gauge

These O Gauge hoppers are Accurascale HUO 24.5T variety. My friend Peter purchased six of these wagon for an existing Club Layout.

I never seem to have enough wagons when I do weathering Demos and Peter usually gives me a few wagons to help me out – I did two at the Dereham Exhibition earlier in the year and did another two yesterday at another Demo. Just two more to go!
