Wagon Loads.

This is one of the wagons that were weathered by Tom Rayer at Westfest. It is a PP28 drop side 5 plank wagon to a BR Design. PIPE wagon to you or me- it says so on the side!
The wagon load is one of the cast offerings for 4mm. However, if you cut it to length to fit then it looks OK to me for 3mil.
I am considering weathering all the stock on Teignford which will mean a separate stock so maybe the lot gets the treatment.

Whether to Weather.

 As part of Westfest , Tom, The Weatherman kindly attended. He agreed to weather some of the groups wagons.The three pictured are wagons built by me some time ago.
Unfortunately the varnish decided to turn white in places, the reasons for this are not completely clear.
However, I decided that these three were ideal candidates for treatment and the results you see are how they turned out.
I didn't want really heavy treatment and am very pleased with the outcome.
In fact, Tom will be invited to one of the Dorset Group meetings in the future. He is going to supply us with a shopping list so each of us can replicate his methods ourselves.
 I am undecided whether all the stock will be so treated but the idea is growing on me after seeing the results Tom has achieved.
It will probably first appear on Teignford and then who knows?
