Not feeling very inspired with scenics and what to do next on the board so settled down infront of the fire & tv with a mug of tea and got cracking on the next 6 PGA's.

ECC variants this time so that 2 different rakes of stock can pass through the loading hopper on the top level.

Spent alot of time working these exmples in and out of Croft so I knew exactly how I wanted them.

A bit haphazard in method but after 5 hours work I have come up with the finish I wanted.

Usual coat of frame dirt and sleeper grime taken off with a thinner soaked cotton bud. Several dustings of rust, cement & brown powder and everything sealed with 2 coats of varnish, one satin & a second of matt applied about half an hour apart. I also dusted over them with a soft make up brush before the matt varnish had gone off to create the textured/rough look to the wagon sides.

Water slide graffiti applied to several and the transfer background masked with a small dusting of mucky powder.

Need a few more of these and I haven't seen any about so 'keep em peeled' for me if you come across any in your local model shops !!
