Steadfast Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Nice job Matthew, the scraped out empties with some ballast remains are great, a wagon is very rarely truly empty. Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewchallenger Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 I finished off another MHA wagon, this one being the recent release from accurscale Found images of both sides of wagon for this one, got some nice marking on either side and also filled with fresh ballast. Completed here with my recent Hornby one that's also had ballast load added Another project I've been working on is a Network Rail test train. I have built and painted UTU1 that is a 3d print by @LMSfan72 I still need to add buffers and the correct bogies it's running on Thompson bogies atm these need the sides taking bakc and the 3d printed version adding over the top I have also turned on of the mk2s into brake runner 977986, first time using filler on a model and think its worked will pretty rough if looked at closely but for now it works well enough for me i will continue on with the rake in the future, so far it includes a Hornby yellow mk2 and the Bachmann dbso and push/pulled with on of my DRS class 37s 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Thank you Jo, seen a few other modellers do the same so found a few prototype images to work on and created my own 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthewchallenger Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 (edited) Another MHA completed, this time the @AccurascaleDB red version in its faded condition. Took some time to get it looking how I wanted in the end I took of all factory printed detail and repainted the body and using @railtec-modelstransfers to get it finished Been loaded up a lot of wagons with ballast as well for the 1st time pretty happy with how it's all coming together. Got a few more wagons close to completion on work bench will post once completed.

matthewchallenger Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 A MFA and another MHA of the work bench, quite simple just dirty and rusted! And a JNA falcon, with one side quite heavily weathered and some painted out graffiti of Le Chat! And then the other clearer side. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthewchallenger Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 latest projects off the work bench, first up new OBA in EWS maroon. numbered as 110040 one side is correct to this number and the other side taken from another interesting OBA and numbered the same as other side this is my favourite OBA ive made to date. inside of wagon is weathered and loaded with some rail, sleepers and a 1 ton bag, inspired by @EWS60065 bass wagon interiors next up is an ex mainline MFA found both sides of wagon on flickr so both are represented 1 patched painted in EWS maroon and the other side with 2 tags, full ballast load added as well then a renumbered and weather Hornby class 60. renumbered to 60015 lastly a work in progress, a 3d print YOB crane, not super prototypical but a nice representation and wanted a model of one of these for a while and no luck getting a make your mark ones or cancalled hattons ones so this will fill a space and look decent in a engineering rake, still some detail to add and glazing/weathering 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWS60065 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Nice work, interesting OBA example there. Love the interior. I was thinking that if all the bass wagons modelled by us and others on RMWeb were put together we would probably have a model of most of them!

Would definitely be interesting to see all the wagons which have been modelled and how big the fleet would be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewchallenger Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Another loaded JNA of the work bench, picked this example as pretty simple but I quote like how 1 side of wagon has pretty much been completely repainted into yellow removing logo and data panels 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWS60065 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Nice wagons, particularly like the SPA - I have done this exact one myself a few years ago! Will yours be for engineering or steel traffic may I ask? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will yours be for engineering or steel traffic may I ask? thank you and yours is a great representation as well, really like the load. mine will also be in engineering traffic. im using this image as inspo as also have a few MOAs and 66711 on the work bench so wanting to recreate some of this working not my image just using for reference 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
