Chris spent a bit of time this week weathering the 12 ton van for Love Lane

Sadly the flash has been a bit cruel in picking out the rust and exaggerating it much more that it is in reality.

And lastly a photo of the two together.

All that’s left for me to do is to clean the paint off the wheel treads and get them in the post…

Along side my own stock builds I have built a couple of Parkside wagon kit’s to Scale 7 for a layout that is being completed by a group of S7 modellers as a tribute to the gent that started it but sadly passed away. They appealed on one of the forums that I post on for any offers of help so I pitched in.

They consist of an LNER Loco coal wagon and an LNER 12 Ton van (more on that later….)
