Stanier Mogul Finally Finished? as well as some other locos started ages ago

With a sunny day an opportunity to revisit some weathering conducted  by myself for me (makes a change!)   First up the Stanier Mogul.. I think it is now fully weathered. I must find a glue which sticks Bachmann cab doors on permanently. Any suggestions?     Next up another Bachmann product .. Royal Tank Corps ( renumbered then renamed and weathered   and a Model Loco Black 5. First one 45219.. needed finishing for ages..    Now I ne

Diesels!

Not managed many photos of weathering I have done recently .. Duchesses and Princesses have been weathered as well as more wagons and locos...   But today with the temperature at a reasonable level I took some recent weathering work outside to get some photos.  One item is for my own use the other two are fr use on Wentworth Junction..   Starting with two Hornby English Electric 350hp shunters. Mine is the Western Region one.     There are some nice colou

Model Loco Black 5

Been a while since i last posted. I have been busy with lots of things including commissions but I have managed to get some time for some weathering of my own stock (more commissions are imminent!)   I repainted a model loco Black 5 I had bought last year and gave it a wash over with ink/water mix.     Now, armed with a suitable colour photo I have returned to finish the job       and in a view from above     I wonder

Been a busy bee!

Haven't really managed to keep to date with the Blog.. too busy actually doing some weathering. One thing about using the inks is .. no airbrush! No cleaning up of airbrush..no ventilated spray booth but I do wear a good face mask using the powders!   I recently refinished a Hornby A4..   It had arrived from a customer to be sold on.. after a bit of rework on the chassis , new plates and a dose of weathering.     weathered A4s are nice.. the colour photos

Super Class 40!

Mike Edge has been busy producing a "Super 40" for use on Carlisle. It is very, very heavy and has the "Co" bits on both bogies driven. My task..fit sound and "gentle" weathering   Sound.. Easy peasy as there is enough room to ge a Legomanbiffo Loksound V5 in and a speaker as well with no hacking or bodging to get it to fit!   Then a picture of a close sister engine (D335..this one is D334) in "Diesels on the London Midland"by Michael Welch gave a good starting point

Two more ex LMS Engines

Having returned the Black Duchess I received tow more locos from the same client. Both needed to be renumbered (and renamed for the Duchess), detail packs fitting then weathered.   Black 5   One of two Saltley favourites. Not too dirty.     Boiler cladding dirt - its that coal dust/soot oil mix...sets like rock in real life.   New smokebox plate. I had to make this up using some Pacific Coat Models plates. New shedplate fitted.

Black 5 at an Exhibition

In between operating stints on the Leeds Club layout (Chapel en le Frith (Central) at the weekend I was asked to "tone" down a Black 5.   This is a Korean Brass specimen, with a new Comet chassis and painted in BR lined Black by Innocentman. A quick trawl through some nice colour photographs revealed a shot of this locomotive, gently travel stained, so..     delivered straight back to is very happy owner! baz

An EMd Bachmann "Mucky Duck" or "Chinese Cracker"

Just sent this off to be collected by its owner. An EM (regauged)  Bachmann Ivatt 4MT Mogul (aka a Mucky Duck or Chinese Cracker). Renumbered and shed/smokebox door plate  ( supplied by client) added. Pick ups fitted to the tender then a client supplied Zimo sound chip, stay alive and speaker were fitted into the loco at the smokebox end (I don't like steam chuffs coming from a tender). New front steps (comet) supplied by client added.   A nice colour photograph from one of the Ra

Diesels!

A few diesels. The owner had fitted DCC chips to them. I have reset some of the CVs on these to sort out acceleration/Deceleration and then a waft of weathering after adding the details at one end on these. First up a Vitrains 37   and a bit of front end detail   Hornby Class 50   Heljan Class 58  and the dreaded door stickers!   Bachmann/Kernow Sir Daniel Gooch   and a close up   and

Two BR Standard Locomotives.

Tow BR Standards for a customer. Both have had Zimo 645Rs sound chips fitted with stay alive units fitted into the tender, Both have a sugar cube speaker fitted under the chimney. Whilst I fitted the sound units someone else EM gauged the locomotives. Then I weathered them using Black and White photographs supplied by the customer to meet his weathering needs.   First up.. a Black Hornby 4MT 4-6-0 a bit of fairly dilute white poster paint to highlight some dribbling on the cylinde

EM Black 5s

Been busy with other things but just finished a filthy Black 5.  Basically a Hornby model with a new chassis, I fitted sound (the speaker is a sugarcube between the frames under the chimney as it is EM.) I then lined it to weather it to match a black and white photograph which shows about 8 inches of lining on the cab side!  Lots of ink then lost of powder. Number and lining cleaned using a cotton wool bud and water.   And another EM Black 5.   Comet tender, sugar cube

Some weathering of models on Carlisle (Railway Modeller Jan 2019)

A number of locos I have weathered or fitted sound to have appeared in the Jan 2019 Railway Modeller.   A couple of Heljan Co-Bos - regauged by Mike Edge then sound chips fitted (Digitrains), weathered and new pipework fitted     These work the "Condor" on the layout.   A DJH Clan - built by the late Alistair Rolfe (in EM) weathered by me .. and I think it has a Zimo sound chip fitted.     and a Caledonian Jumbo built by Mike Edge (in EM), weathered by me     Baz

Wagons from Blackburn Show

As usual at a show I didn't get loads of wagons weathered. Some I had started prior to the show...   First up a Parkside ex SNCF 16T mineral wagon.All over dirt with a bit of added rust     I have been working on some ex PO wagons. One is an Oxford mineral. A bit of work with a glass fibre brush then some weathering. The other is Slaters PO. By using the glass fibre brush on some of the planks means the original brown paint shows through. Some numbers from Modelmasters and then just a was

Jubilees

So for our new club layout Chapel en le Frith we needed Jubilees.   I had a Mainline one     which has now had a new Comet chassis, High Level gearbox etc fitted   then I had a Bachmann one   Billy Ruffian - engine shed cleaned   then I bought one of Geoff Brewins estate     Leeward Islands   and finally a Ks/Hornby mix     Sakatchewan - awaiting weathering.   I believe I have another Ks one lurking somewhere but I thinks that's enough   Baz

So, for your delectation I present: A Bachmnann Peak EMd by the customer, SWD sound chip fitted by me(as supplied by the customer)and then weathered as per some very nice photographs provided by the customer, close up of nose detail and some roof detail While doing this I had another Peak for the same customer And finally a couple of Heljan 26/27s They are fitted with Legomanbiffo sound chips in some of

Covhops!

Covhops! Yes i like them and the Bachmann offerings are very nice. I have had 6 of these for a while and they may be needed to run on Chapel en le Frith if we can't get the Hattons ICI hoppers in time... some unfitted ones - not to filthy and a fitted interloper - too late for my time period but it may be swapped for another unfitted one.
