Thanks chaps!

The oiliness I created by mixing Humbrol steel MetalCote with matt black, then buffing it up a bit. I tried to apply it where boots would traipse it while working around the pump equipment. The shack has only had grey primer applied, then weathered down with dry-brushing mucky colours, and also a bit of grungy washes.

I sent some snaps to the client and got an email back with some positive words in ALL CAPS and several exclamation marks. I guess he's happy!

I set up a small photo shoot this evening, with a loco that is blue (and waiting on the client to decide whether he really wants me to upgrade and detail it).

I keep thinking I really must sort out a proper scenic section somewhere for this kind of work. various bits of cardboard and a length of track doesn't quite cut it. Perhaps when I get a bit more spare time… :))
