Afternoon *, Good to see you and thank you for those kind words. I have a weathering thread here.... Some things are detailed on that thread but most are buried within this one. PM me if I can help with anything in particular. Rob. 4 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Boy Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 3 hours ago, MrWolf said: Inspiring set of pictures there Rob, the wagons could easily pass for 7mm scale models and the closeup could be the real thing. I have long experience in rust and the effects of age on paint with my line of work. Compare with this: So is that before or after you've weathered it.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted January 25, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 25, 2022 Thanks Stu but at the rate I'm going, I'll still be building the layout up to the morning of the show. For a variety of reasons, it's gradually unraveling....................No panic has set in.......yet. Three months to go and I am working on the layout once a week if I'm lucky. Too much grown up stuff going on at the moment and I really don't like to start jobs that I can't finish or have to rush. That said, I might have to rethink that particular approach. One hopes however that it will look a bit clearer in a couple of weeks. Rob. 1 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted January 26, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2022 Morning Pencarrot, Thank you. I'm only too glad that I don't model the South Wales Valleys in the mid to late 60s and therefore need tens of the things. I take far too long to finish just one let alone a rake of them. That said, it is quite therapeutic. All aspects of weathering are fun but I think I prefer wooden wagons to steel but each present their own challenges and accompanying level of fun/frustration/problem solving. At least limiting myself to bijou goods only 4mm cameoesque adventures ( for now at least ) I need very few wagons. Rob. 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westerner Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Ewe would not need many wagons or locos on a small O gauge layout 1 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) There is unfortunately a down side to that. Ewe'd have less wagons and locos to improve and weather... Edited January 26, 2022 by MrWolf Digital dysfunction 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted January 27, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2022 Morning all.

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted January 28, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Evening all, Sadly, as many of you will have seen elsewhere on the forum, BGman, Grahame Hitchen has sadly passed away following a short illness. A lovely man, a very skilled but incredibly modest modeller whose enthusiasm and humour was infectious. This thread benefited from his many contributions. I simply benefited from knowing him. Here's a photo or two of 7717 which found its way to Bleat Wharf as a result of a typical act of generosity on Grahame's part. Rob.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted February 5, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Morning all, Little to report by way of modelling activity, time for which is proving tricky to find at present. I'm also looking to 'thin the collection'. I'm looking to move on a few locos and will be putting a list together shortly. This will include a couple of Bachmann Green 08s which have been replaced by Hornby equivalents. There's also a few J15s which could go along with an 03 and possibly a small Prairie. All are boxed with detail packs where appropriate. I'm also thinking of moving on Mutton if anyone is interested in taking it on. Happy to discuss any of the above by way of PM prior to a formal advert going out. Rob. Edited February 5, 2022 by NHY 581 2 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted February 5, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2022 Ahem, update. Muttons looks to have a new owner and very appropriate they are to boot. Of the locos, the 03, a J15, an 08 and the 4575 have found new homes. A couple more may be on their way soon and that may well be it for now and normal service will be resumed.

Morning Tim, No. Taunton in 2019 was Bleat Wharf as was Small Cardiff show. I started building Sheep Dip in Jaunary 20 and it was in the virtual SWAG in April '20. It's not actually been out and about. SB 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
