Well again months roll by and I've not done too much.

Just a little weathering to 4 Ore Hoppers, trying to decide which was best, Dapol, or Bachmann.

From my own point of view I find the Dapol version better because there are less plastic moulding marks. Having said that Dapol have an incorrect wagon number and although 22 or 24 ton they marked theirs 12 ton !! Once weathered a swipe of rusty paint over part of the number and weight hides the mistake. With the Bachmann even a splash of paint won't cover the plastic weld marks.

 

Just starting another layout with some friends, so I may get into posting again before 2012 begins !!!

Hi Russ,

 

It'll have to be a half, you're driving !

 

Put some Ore in yesterday so here's a close up of the Bachmann wagon where the weld marks that attach to the solebar are so very obvious - Dapol are clipped on so no marks in this area at all.
