I second that motion. Car looks great btw...

Sweet. As for the "too much" crowd, it seems to me that though most cars are not this bad off, most trains have at least one in this condition.

Great work!
I am still in the beginning stages of my weathering, and am soaking in everything I can. I, too, would love to see a how-to. There is a video on this site that Cody did, showing acrylics and turpenoid. Did you use the same technique?
I gotta tell you, I alsmost choked when I saw your collection of rolling stock. Unreal. Then I remembered that I'm a bass tournament fisherman and professional guide, and that my collection of rods and tackle would probably cause the same response from a casual fisherman. You got more than most hobby shops, and I got more than most tackle shops.
Can't wait to see more!
Great model.

I just do what the majority of the voices in my head vote on.

You got a layout big enough to handle all that?
Dave
Just be glad you don't have to press "2" for English.

Nicely done, rivaling what I've seen from some of the "pros". I'm always amused by the too heavy comments. A few weeks ago there was a string of cylindrical covered hoppers in the UP yard at Grand Junction. Many were completely covered with surface rust on the sides.

No inconvenience. Just wondering if the forum gremlins were at work.
The car is too new for my era, but the weathering is just fantastic.
I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

Excellent job! Looks great!
One the best I have seen in awhile.. a little heavy but not too over the top.
Well done! I'd say you have the hang of it. I agree, though, that the upper left face that we see needs more dulling to the blue paint. The car's lower door sill is quite a bit more deteriorated than the rest of the car, probably a bit too much. But your rust is really good.

Excellent, very realistic, strange to the naysayers, all railroad equipment does NOT look like it just came from the factory, and don't a lot of MR's strive for protoptypical realism, then weathering would be at the top of prototypical priorities.
I must add the best tip for weathering is: M O D E R A T I O N
Wow at first I thought it was the real deal . Which car manufacture are you using ?
