RES-uming Service

Its been several months since I did anything productive in the train room, being busy with travel and life of late. However, today I did venture down into the cave and figured that weathering a couple of wagons would be a quick an easy project for an hour.

As a result, here are three newly 'olded' wagons for the freight train - an RES flat with a couple of old sleepers in it, and a pair of telescoping-top SHIMMNS steel wagons. * As always, those wagon type codes are approximations only.

All were weathered with acrylic washes and a touch of chalks afterwards. Hardly works of art, but they look ok from the requisite distance.

I do have a third steel wagon in brown that I must turn into this bluey colour that SBB uses. In time it would be quite nice to have a whole train of them, but that might be quite a way off as I'd need to find or make another 7 or 8...
