    Hi all,

    The latest updates from my random workbench!

    Ongoing 08 weathering:

    And a small (literally!) structure for the layout:

    Great job, looks fantastic.
    I'm currently building a Cambrian kit OTA-A timber wagon.
    Interested to learn your weathering techniques.

    Thanks both for your comments!

    Also got a (representation) of a BR Ferry Open wagon on the go...for no reason other than I like the prototype!

    Hello all,

    Quick update as modelling time has been in short supply these last few months.

    I've developed an interest in PWA fertiliser vans - I dug out an ancient Lima model and have done a bit of basic detailing, nothing too extreme, but just some simple upgrades to improve the basic model (new bogies, bufferbeams and a representation of the underframe trussing). Nothing big or clever, mainly scratchbuilt from plastic bits.

    I've also relocated the layout to Cornwall, and it will now be a faux China Clay works. No major changes to layout or structures, just simply a location change because I really like ECC related stuff.
