Weathering

Private owner coal wagons - O gauge models.

before and after

Buying pre-printed private owner wagon kits is a quick way of dealing with the complex lettering that decorated these vehicles. However their bright, new colours are not very convincing. This picture shows two wagons exhibiting a "before and after" weathering effect. Remember that coal wagons made regular trips to collieries where coal was dropped into them from a height under the screens.
