The tales of the CC Weathering Services Workbench

Hi All,

I thought I would start a thread detailing the happenings of my weathering. I have recently started a business known as 'CC Weathering Services,' the website can be checked out by clicking on the tab in my signature bar.
The latest project was a HO NSWGR C36 class. A bit challenging to find a reference photograph as they all had a Belpaire firebox and were painted black by the time colour photos of them were around.

I also did my first Respray recently- a GWR 4575 class as we had two of the same model and as we don't have too many GWR Wartime black locos I thought I would paint it into that colour. As can be expected from a first attempt there are a few rough edges but from a normal layout viewing distance they aren't too noticeable.


Before: 5513, the extra was repainted to:


After: 5533, I'm not sure if this loco ever appeared in black but on my layout it will.

Hope you enjoy and there should be more stuff put up in the future.

Regards Connor

Nice work!

Well done Connor - looks great although not as "weathered" as we're used to in UK - but then you have better weather down there !!

Good luck with the new venture.  :thumbs

Cheers Petermac, yes not as weathered but I didn't want to go to hard as it is in the condition as it would have been build (around the late 1920s) when they still kept locos relatively clean. Don't worry our Aussie locos got just as filthy as in the UK in the 60s. Just check out this AD60 class Beyer-Garrett:

Ah ha - normal LNER colourings I see !!!   

Apart from the filth, that's a great photo of the beast Connor.

G'day Everyone,

Back with a recent job: A Hornby Black 5 done to a Medium Weathering.

Hi Everyone,

Well the weathering has slowed down a bit in the last week due to the weather being rather cold (struggling to push past 13 degrees C) which makes the shed rather uncomfortable. So I have been updating the website in the meantime with some better photos, some of which you have seen posted here. Below are a selection of some of those projects that may have not been sighted.


A Heavy 4F.


A Medium 9F.


A Medium G2A

A Light Hall.

You can now also view the Facebook Page in the signature bar now, check it out if you so desire.

Regards Connor

Lots of nice work, Connor.

13 degrees! That's freezing! I will be in Adelaide for a few days next week and am hoping for some warmer weather.

Cheers
Evan

Evan, it will be from 14-18C during the day  & 5-9 during the night.

Thanks Sol.

As Billy Connolly once said - there is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes.

Cheers
Evan

Well this thread has been a little quiet so here are some recent jobs:
