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!
The third and final Wagon in my weathering session was a Dapol BR Brake Van. These are some of the hardest wagons to weather – especially the getting the shading between the planks in the veranda ends. These are the definitely a labour of love to complete.
Another of the recent batch of weathering. This is a 3D printed model, printed in 2 halves, since this was made, my friend has now perfected this model as a one piece print. I have a one piece model to paint and weather later.
This is a resin kit I purchased a few months ago – just got around to finishing it and weathering it. I did not purchase a container for it as I wanted it parked up in a siding as a failure! Something a bit different!
Busy two days weathering some wagons for a friend. These wagons will appear at the Bawdeswell Exhibition in April. The wagons were airbrushed, dry brushed with a few powders to make them look in working condition. I hope to finish off the Locos over the next couple of days.
Here is some O Gauge weathering that I have recently finished. All have had a Light to Medium application using an airbrush, dry brushing and some powders.

Another batch of wagons I started at The Dereham Demo. These were also treated to some Designer Gouache rusting and general wear and tear. Again I used Satin Varnish and Enamel Paints to finish.
The next batch are four Tank Wagons. Two are the latest Dapol Models as early Esso TTV ‘s – the other two are kit built BP TTA’s by Skytrex.
Enamel Paints only were used on these wagons – both Airbrushed and Dry Brushed
Here we have some various wagons weathered by using Designer Gouache as well as airbrushed Enamel paints – firstly two Hoppers, a Van and Shock open.
I did all the brush work using the Designer Gouache at a Demo at the Dereham Exhibition, I then airbrushed them with Satin Varnish to seal them and weathered the Chassis with Enamels as normal.
I find that using DG helps me to create a little depth to the rust etc, rather than enamels that can look a little flat!
On Saturday (4/11/23) we are attending the Stowmarket RMC Open Day with a layout. I was asked by a member that will also be attending, to do a quick weathering job on four early wagons that he needs to run on a Club layout, here are the results.
