The locos an old abandoned tin project, given a few good coats of hammerite with some steel powder applied ontop so itlly hopefully last the years rather than just rusting through immediatly.
The skips a Binnie and the rubbish wagon is an old Andel Models resin kit given the same steel powder treatment.

Oh that's utter perfection. Makes me want to revisit those videos of exploring abandoned mines.
This is what rust powder and MYOB is made for.
