Thanks Rich. Positive comments always gives one inspiration.
I will stick a few more up tomorrow. Weathered BGs and GUVs
Those AMOCO oil tankers really could be mistaken for the real thing. I will stick a few more up tomorrow. Weathered BGs and GUVs
That one is Bachmann. The ridges on the roof let it down. I have another Bachmann BG which is later version without the ridges on. What is scratch built is the platform, which I was quite pleased with.
However your comment has prompted me to start scratch building wagons again. So a set of 21t scratch built coal hoppers will be surfacing at some point

Small point but when I see weathered diesels I notice that no one does a dirty windscreen with a clear segment where the arc of the widscreen wiper clears it. Yet that's exactly how I remember dirty diesels from when I was young. Yertis said:
... something that always struck me about these things (I hate 33s) is that the windscreen had a peculiar purpley tinge, like some aircraft cockpit windows.
Most of the diesels on the western region had that. I always assumed it was an oil slick from them being so filthy! Slightly OT, hope it's OK just to bob this pic in here as I used to be into model railways as a kid etc and this model was specially commissioned for the FIL 20 years ago after he completed 50 years working for British Rail, made by Dave Lowrey modelmakers, I think it's this firm http://www.modernwagons.co.uk/index.html
Probably an easy guess for you lads to guess what type of train it is, and supposedly in full working order when built but it has never been used.

Is he still working on the railways?
Latest project has been the weathering of class 25201
How she started out naked with some handrails I made for her and a few pics here of the finished article.
I am now about to get stuck into hand building a rake of 21t coal hoppers see here.

I think the weathering opportunities are really good on em. Will probably take me a year and day! we shall see.
