iarnrod Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Absolutely spot on weathering on those wagons. Just as I remember them. Well done on an excellent job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRich Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 These wagons and the models are iconic and it takes a huge amountt of knowledge researching as many pics of wagons as possible as they all weather differently. To still have the drive to put the same amount of time and effort into the last one as the first says a lot about Jason. It takes time to reach this level and some of us never will.

JasonB Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Fresh to the bench this morning is my 15 Ballast Wagons and 2 Plough Van's. I've started by applying a wash to the hopper. This is to create the build up of dirt and streaking in certain areas. This process will be used on each wagon. I have also removed the loads for a little cosmetic work. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Plough Van's were dismantled this afternoon and given a blast of the airbrush. I'll be aiming for a heavily weathered appearance on both of these. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Another little project on the go at the moment are these Cravens, which I picked up second hand back in 2018. The guy I bought them from had already painted the interiors and installed lighting. Over the past couple of evenings, I've carried out some small repair jobs which needed doing, and I've also added some passengers. Once everything is put back together, I'll finish off by applying some light weathering. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonB Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 I hadn't realised how bad a condition the wheels where in, until I had removed them from the coaches. As you can see, they were absolutely caked in residue from glue that had been used by the previous owner. Not good with general running, let alone when you're relying on pickups to light the coaches. Anyway, I've given them a good clean, which should improve future running. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great improvement. Edited July 13, 2020 by Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonB Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 A couple of recently finished tanktainers. Weathering has been kept to a minimum, with some light streaking and rust applied. 9 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonB Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I've spent the last number of weeks working away on this signal box, in between my current projects sitting on the bench. The balcony and steps combo wasn't my cup of tea, so some chopping, sanding and gluing was required. Along with that, I also added lighting and various bits and bobs to the interior. Then, some painting and weathering to finish. Job done. Edited August 29, 2020 by JasonB 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Holman Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Some of the current ready to plant buildings are very nice indeed, but a project like this shows how one can be made bespoke and much more interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 Another batch of wagons have joined the ever growing queue awaiting weathering on the bench. First up, are my fourteen IRM 42' flats with BELL containers. And along with them, are my ten Tara's. Thought I'd ease myself in. So I've began by painting the green detailing on the bogies, just to dull things down a little.

JasonB Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 Evening guys, It's been a while since I updated the thread. The combination of being just too busy, and not really being arsed, has resulted in a very quiet workbench of late. Over the past month or so, I've got back amongst my mound of projects that need sorting, and below, is one of those stop-start weathering jobs which has been dragging on forever. It's nice to finally put these to bed. 8 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
