Wyke Street only needs a couple of wagons, one for coal to restock the coaling stage, and the other is to take away the ash from the pits. These were both purchased cheaply and amended to my requirements, both received loads and were weathered. Both went very well, so may buy a cheap van for stores deliveries!
I have purchased some three link couplings – they arrived after I took these photos!!!
Here are two coal wagons that were recently released by Dapol in O Gauge – I started them a couple of weeks ago, but only just finished them off.
It has been tight, but the layout is now ready for its first Exhibition. The O Gauge shunting plank will attend the GOG Meet Up at Bury St Edmunds on Sunday (15/9).
My part in its development is now over after doing all the weathering of stock and buildings. I have also added an office building above the entrance and some barrels, pallets and loaded pallets.
I think Graham, the owner plans to add a portacabin or similar and some workers. That should pull it all together nicely.
Today the layout met some of its stock. We have a few minor amendments to do, but overall this was a very pleasing result. This is Grahams stock, I weathered most – but not all of these.
Here are the balance of the OO wagons for Peters Western Region Layout. These are Vans, Grains and Brakes. I have also included a photo of Peters Layout so far.
This is the start of the wagon weathering on Peters Western Region OO Layout – open wagons and tank wagons first, others to follow.
This is the second batch of my sons weathering requirement. I must say that N gauge weathering is not as easy as it may seem, at least I find it so. A least they will now look better on his layout?

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!

Taking advantage of a recent Rails Sale, I purchased a CCT with factory weathering. When it arrived I was a bit stunned by just how over powering the weathering was! I set about re-weathering straight away. I did a wash wipe with dilute matt black, followed by Railmatch weathering paints, a great improvement. I hope you think so.
Quite a varied bunch of stock numbering and weathering for a friend. The 05 is a fictional livery and was not weathered. The 14XX and the Class 15 Diesel were both lightly weathered, and lastly we have the N.E Van which was a complete paint job and weathering.
