A Blast from the Past – Colin Ashby PO Wagons

Way back in 2015 I started building five PO wagons from Colin Ashby kits picked up from the now defunct GOG Executor and Trustee service. Over the intervening years I had slowly added brake levers and guides and ultimately  a couple of them just required buffer stocks before they were painted. In my recent quest to move a few of my shef queens along I fitted the last ones with buffer stocks and I have painted them ready for transfers.

When we lived in Wakefield we were just up the road from the former Newmarket Colliery of J&J Charlesworth and that’s whose I livery Intended to do them in. Powsides do J&J Charlesworth transfers but they are the rub down type so I think that I will get some white transfer paper and draw up my own for cutting on the Silhouette Cutter. Hopefully it won’t be another nine years before you see them finished.

Connoisseur LSWR Brake Van in Light railway Livery – Finished

A couple of days ago I finished the painting of the brake van and then glazed it and refitted the buffers.

The result is quite unusual when compared with the normal SR brown or BR Grey liveries. Spray painted with Anitas Acrylics Sunshine Yellow and Vallejo Model Color Black. The interior was done with Vallejo Game Bone White and Model Color Medium Sea Grey for the veranda floors.
