This is a small batch of wagons I have weathered for the mid 70’s era. The two Bauxite wagons are the ones made by Graham and the open is for our mate Colin.

Vanwide (VEV)

Lowmac

5 Plank open

Here are three Ministry tanks made by Dapol and weathered to various standards. Both Type A and Type B are represented. This is the third batch I have done and they will run in dedicated trains.

The TTA’s made by Graham and painted by myself are now weathered. These are Skytrex examples. They are light to medium weathered with heavy ‘spills’.

Here we have three Dapol Turbots in O Gauge that I have weathered for the Morlock Heath Layout.

I have weathered these wagons to a light – medium level. After a lot of research I realised just how bad these wagons had become when in service with BR. As well as being used as ballast carriers they also seemed to be widely used for spoils and any junk they could carry. Sides became deformed and very rusty with paintwork almost non existing. So these wagons I have done would probably be medium to heavy on any other wagon. These were vacuum braked wagons in an air braked world and were expendable before withdrawal.

Please note, I researched the interiors of these wagons as well as the outsides.

Here are five O Gauge wagons all made by Graham and painted by myself. They still need a few small adjustments and of course are on the weathering list!

Firstly two TTA Tank wagons as running in the mid 80’s. These are Skytrex Kits with Peartree wheels.

Next we have two wagons from the late 60’s – early 70’s. The first one is another Skytrex Kit and is a Lowmac ‘E’. The second is a Slaters Kit of a Vanwide, later to become a VEV. Both are finished in Late Bauxite.

Lastly we have a PMV in BR Blue from the Mid 70’s until the Early 80’s. This is a Slaters Model and still needs the windows added as well as the roof fettled.
