I finally managed to get the airbrush going this month and get some paint on some models. First up were the bogies for my 3 VQDW container wagons. They're moulded in red plastic to begin with, but the colour isn't quiet right, so a coat of SEM VR red was required. I also added the couplers; all that's left now are shunter's steps, container locks and some clear coat.

While I had the airbrush set up, I got some paint onto the 4 Rail Motor Models VHQF Quarry Hopper wagons sitting on my bench. They still need a little more paint around the brake detail at the ends, next time I'll leave the rock shields off until the detail is painted.

A couple of weeks ago I bought 3 VQFX Container wagon kits of eBay. These are a single part wagon cast in resin, with additional detail pieces applied separately. On the weekend I removed the flash around the upper deck, and now they're ready to have the extra detail added.

Over the Easter long weekend I got a Powerline H class loco from Trainworld. I didn't have a H class, and according to the Powerline website a lot of the T/H class units are now sold out, so I decided I'd better get one while I still could.
