Only two of them create a time paradox (the Osborns pair). Because I obviously would not run the maroon one at the same time as the sand one :)

I am undecided as to whether to sell the original one or keep both. You cant have too many Westerns.

My Western Enterprise arrived this morning.  I haven't had a chance to run it yet, but the weathering is a maybe a wee bit disapointing.  It seems to be only one colour and the weathering on teh bogies is not as discernable as it could be.

It's not a problem, because additional weathering can be incorporated, and this would be easier and more effective than doing the same to Farish's blue tinged "factory weathering" so it's a minor gripe, if anything.

Great service from Osborne's, though; phone call yesterday morning, delivery this morning.

Best

Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they're going through.

Could you post a photo and compare it with the photo that Osborns originally posted. That weathering was very good and they noted that the bogies had not been weathered.

Sure.

These are quick Iphone pictures, but they are in natural light and show the difference between this weathering and the weathering on Dapol's previous batch(es).

To be clear, my comment wasn't a complaint and I can easily add suitable additional colouring/weathering where required, I just noted that it wasn't to the same level as previous effiorts, to my mind.
