Steam Engine Work

Here are just some of the Engines I have had the privilege to work on.

Whether it is a simple Hand painted number plate, a Signwritten Name or Canopy Lettering, Lining out or the full works (full strip down, degrease, Coach Painting, lining and Signwriting) We can carry out the work to your Engine.

Full size or Scale Model, either at your own workshop or yard or in our Home Workshop at the Ashington, West Sussex.

Aveling and Barford Roller, 14186, Roll-On. some Parts given Full Repaint, whole engine Lined and Varnished.

So Far, to date, I have worked on over 20 Engines. Carrying out works that range from simple lining to full, from the ground up, repaints.

I like to spend a lot of time researching the correct liveries and style to suit the engines so that they can accurately portray how they would have looked back in their working days.

This is just a small selection of the Finished results of the Engines worked on. If you would like to see more of the process then please check out my Facebook page where you will find Albums of all the engines and other vehicles I have worked on and can see the Painting process.
