This GWR Collett Full Third 5813 is the sales coach at The Dean Forest Railway for the Dean Forest Locomotive Group. I marked out and applied all the lining and lettering while the coach painting was carried out by J&L Coach painting.

Throwback to this time last year...

What a project this one was!

This Burrell wagon - built by Neil Gough - really is something very special. It’s an absolute credit to Neil and the amount of work and attention to detail that has gone into it is incredible.
The paintwork was carried out by Neil, with some of the parts — including the tinwork, boiler lagging, motion screens, chain guards and mudguards — being sprayed.

The work I completed on this amazing project included:-

✅Flatting all paint work back
✅Lining and lettering the whole engine
✅Finishing off with 3 coats of clear varnish all wet flatted between coats.

The engine made its debut at the 2025 Old Warden rally. Hats off to Neil for creating something extremely special.

Back in June I spent some time down at The Watercress Line working on this 4500 gallon Bullied tender. The tender had been painted up to gloss and my work included:
- Scotchbriting last gloss coat
- Marking out and hand lining the black and orange lines
- Applying early BR crest (waterslide transfer)
- Finishing off with 2 coats of varnish flatted back in between
As always all painted with Craftmaster Paints throughout.

After snapping a few chalk lines here I am applying the fine coachlining to the Victorian Coach. This is with an ox hair liner. The corners will then be done with a shorter signwriting brush. There are miles of lines on these older liveries. They really did know how to make things look pretty back then!

I have recently completed the lining and lettering on this Dean 4-Wheel Brake Third for Didcot Railway Centre. All lettering is 23.5ct gold leaf. I think there is a few miles of lining on this one! The GWR monograms are transfers made by Endon Valley Custom Decals. Prep and paintwork was completed by John Plant of the carriage and wagon department. After I had finished my work Varnishing was carried out by Harry Jones. A nice joint project to be a part of. All completed using Craftmaster Paints 🖌️

Something a bit smaller this time. These are parts painted and lined for a 2” Burrell agricultural assembled from a set of Steam Traction World kits. The parts were etch primed, sprayed in 2k paint and all lined by hand. All in authentic Burrell colours. To give you an idea of scale the yellow fine lines are 0.012” or 0.30mm thick!

I spent a week at The Watercress Line in January lining out and varnishing their Ivatt tank 41312. All the prep work and painting was excellently carried out by Alex Luckham which meant that when I arrived a few chalk lines were pinged and out came the lining brushes. Always enjoy working with the guys at Ropley MPD.

First job of 2026 was a trip down to the Dean Forest Railway to line and letter Austerity ‘Rennes’ for Western Steam engineering. I think you’ll agree they have done a stunning job of the paintwork. All carried out with Craftmaster Paints.

At the end of last year I painted this rare 5” gauge K3. All the parts were supplied to me in bare metal then etch primed and sprayed in automotive 2k. The engine was then lined out by hand and transfers applied.
