I've been out in TOPS this morning and made a start on the Wagons, I've added the Chains  but unfortunately the rust looks really strong in the Photos, but is hardly discernible to the naked eye. I've also toned down the 3 Vans as well.

Finished 40007 (unofficially named James Bond by me) prepares to go onto the Fuel Point.

 

[Adrian Stevenson]

That looks the business. Really like it.

Although it's difficult to see in this image, the Warwell has also had a light weathering as well.

 

[Andrew P]

This is the Squid I got from George T, he did the main weathering and then I fitted the chains and added the rust yesterday.

Tastefully done Andy looks like it has been working hard.

Thanks Barnaby, de weathering after A GOOD weathering is the secret to a good weathering IMHO.

[Andrew P]

This morning I de weathered the Catfish that I weathered yesterday.

 

As I left them last night.

And now.

I also did a little more work on the OAA's until the 08 ran off with them.

Yeah I only have the two, and so bought the two versions that were available, their brightness has bugged since day one, I'd never seen any with Red Buffers, haha.

The two OAA's, after re working.

Some excellent weathering Andy it does make the models so much more real.

Cheers Steve, this is an OBA that  I took a picture of at Didcot a few years ago.

Almost every wagon in the Train had been patched at some point.

Cracking work as usual Andy.

I drop in most days but rarely comment. 

 

Really enjoying the photos and the weathering looks spot on.

 

Quite envious to be honest that you have several locos! I'll have to make do with my lowly Gronk, but saving for a Rat or Crompton! Then of course will need somewhere to run them, but that's another story!

 

Hope to catch up somewhere and hope house move goes well.

Thanks Richard, I've seen you popping in, but glad you like the weathering and pics.

 

I know Rich / Marsh Lane has a blue Rat for sale, and of course the new 33 will be out soon as well, come on, splash the cash and bend that credit card mate.

Great updates Andy. Just been catching up in this and a few others this morning. 

 

Great weathering on the stock too, it really brings it all to life.

Hi Adam, Thanks, I do enjoy my weathering, and doing most from photos for the best results.

 

There will be more to come soon.
