ba14eagle Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 In readiness for a possible house move and construction of my 3rd garden railway, Ive started collecting a few O gauge wagons 😉 - dont worry, there will still be a OO gauge line as well. Ive had a few of the wagons out for a bit of weathering. Here are the results. The first, is a kit built, 6 wheel milk tanker. Bought off EBay (bargain for £20!!) I removed the private owner name and added some distressing and weathering. This is a Skytrex 12t plywood van. It has been renumbered / new transfers and weathered. Since the photo was taken, Ive added some chalk scribblings - empty dates, destinations etc and replaced the missing vacuum brake pipes. A Dapol 16t mineral wagon. Has been lightly weathered, as this style of body was added to underframes in the early 1970's, so it wont be completely rusted out by 1975/76. Ive weathered the interior too and added a bit of coal dust, as it may be run empty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traingeekboy Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) ... now if you just change the wheels to HO gauge, you could run your O scale, as On30, on your OO gauge garden railway. Â Those are nice models. It's such a problem being into a variety of scales. I managed to offload my G scale to a friend's son. If I examine my collection I still have: N scale, HO scale in american, uk, and continental themes, and my lionel 3 rail O gauge set. Must try to stay focused and finish up my 55n3 models.
