[quote user="BXCARMIKE"]Back in the 90's, Rand Hood did a article or two on snow and ice in MR, check them out. Don't forget, if you model heavy amounts of snow, in real life, as trains move, it sticks to them. The ends, couplers ,tops, even the trucks if there's enough. You'd probably be better off with a late fall dusting, like in the pictures above, both modeled and real. Don't forget most grass and weeds  will be brown also.[/quote] I still have the issue with the article in it. I remember he said for modelling snow stuck to diesel plows and on coal loads he suggested using white window caulking. Although I model summer in western Pennsylvania so a loco or car with snow on it would seem ludicrously out of place even if we can sometimes still see snow as late as the beginning of April.
