Thames 611 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Hey Simon, How’s it going mate, I hope alls well. I like the effect you’ve got going on with the streaking down the sides of the wagons, must have taken you awhile. Worth the effort though by the looks of it.

Speak soon mate, Dave Afternoon Dave, Great to hear from you, looking forward to seeing you nearer to Christmas mate. The weathering is Humbrol Coal black enamel paint thinned with thinners, applied as a wash and then I "pulled" the paint downwards when it was tacky with a piece of kitchen towel. I dry brushed the underframe with some Humbrol brick red to try and highlight areas of rust around the springs and axle boxes. The Thornaby fleet is expanding with a bargain of ebay and two 37/5 from our good friend and "enabler" Lee Bolger. See you soon mate Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bescotbeast Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) I'm always on the look out for ways to expand the variety of my wagon fleet. First up is an old Lima tanker that was in their range, many years ago. All I've done is change the bogies for some Cast Y25 bogies from Bachmann, add some weight,replace the buffers and paint the underframe in Halfords satin black. The second wagon is again from the old Lima range and is a PCA, the premise here is that the glass works on my layout, is trailing sand being delivered from BIS Oakamoor in two of these wagons, on hire from Tiger. The work so far, has involved adding some weight, NEM couplers and new wheels from Bachmann.

Let me know if you do and I'll bring em d Two wagons should be enough, in my mind it's a Mon and Thu working , Monday unloading then Tuesday they get attached to the loaded Clayliner to the Potteries and then return on Wednesday's return empties, tripped up on Thursday morning, Friday return again to the Potteries. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
