Hi guys

last weekend I weathered all my freight cars using my airbrush.Well this weekend I went back and applied PollyScale Rust to the trucks, WOW I can't believe how much of a difference this made, when I applied it I made some cars with just a little rust appearing and some cars with alot and others with a in between of the two. I think it looks better if you make each car a little different than the last to me thats where the real look comes into play. who agrees?

I agree.

Here's my methods for weathering:
1.) Leave cars in the closet for three decades, and never dust [:)].
2.) Leave cars in the back yard for three weeks [:)].

Of course, being in three-rail O, the only things even remotely resembling weathering on my layout are the tracks that need to be cleaned, again [:)].

See you around the forum,
Daniel

Yeah, weathering is amazing. If done properly, it can bring a model to life. Make it look like an accurate miniature. Nothing gets on my layout without it. Weathering "makes" the model.

I like to eventually weather most of my stuff, but once in a while I'll get something so nice (e.g., my Genesis F7 A/B warbonnets) that I just like to leave them shiny and bright for awhile. I have also had interesting reactions to my weathered equipment. from non-model railroaders They think I'm nuts for making something new and shiny look old and beat up. Oh, well.
